Brno is encircled by forest hills — the city centre is 800 m from the wooded slopes of Špilberk and 2 km from Wilson Forest. The municipality maintains 14 fenced off-leash zones (psí louka) and three swimming-permitted reservoirs.
Brno-střed · Špilberk 210/1, 662 24 Brno
Brno's iconic hilltop park surrounding the medieval-baroque Špilberk Castle. Forested slopes wrap the hill on three sides with shaded paths and benches — locals walk dogs off-leash on the wooded south and west sides.
💡 Climb up via Pellicova Street for the gentlest gradient — direct stone steps from the centre are punishing for short-legged dogs.
Brno-střed · Lužánky 5, 602 00 Brno
Brno's oldest public park (opened 1786) — formal allées, mature trees, a pond, ornamental fountains. Two fenced psí louka zones in the south and east corners. Free public WiFi, café, summer concerts.
💡 The east-side fenced zone has agility equipment maintained by the Brno dog-owners' association.
Bystrc · Přístavní, 635 00 Brno-Bystrc
A 2.6 km² reservoir 12 km north-west of the centre — wooded shores, swimming spots for dogs, a paddle-steamer line that accepts dogs free, and the Bítov Castle ruins reachable by water. Tram 1 from the centre to Bystrc.
💡 The west shore (Sokolské koupaliště side) has the cleanest water for dog swimming — east shore can have algae July-August.
