U Bílých hlin

U Bílých hlin is a protected grassland area located on the outskirts of Olomouc. Visitors go here to see a steppe landscape characterized by rare wildflowers, specifically pasque flowers, which bloom across the fields in the spring. The site features a trail that winds over gentle hills, suitable for walking and nature observation.

Getting There

The site is located a short distance from the Olomouc city centre. It is accessible via local public transport or by bicycle. Depending on the mode of transport, the journey typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours to walk the trail and observe the flora. The pace depends on whether you are hiking the hills or stopping for photography.

When to Visit

The best time to visit is during the spring, when the wildflowers are in bloom. To avoid the strongest sun and potential crowds, morning or late afternoon visits are recommended. While not a major tourist hub, the trails can be busier during peak bloom periods in the spring.
