Kunětická hora a blízké okolí

Since the end of the Ice Age, the basic transport axis of the Area of Moravian Kravare has been the Moravian Gate with fluvial plains of the Odra in the north. Herds of mammoths and reindeer and troops of hunters as well as new ideas and technologies passed through this place. First farmers and later medieval colonizers, who gave the landscape its character, came through this point to the Area of Moravian Kravare.
An old trade route from the Danube river to the North Sea was the Amber Path leading into the Odra valley and through the southern part of the former administration borough of Odry. This old trade route is supported by many bronze findings at various places - let us mention Lipnik, Slavic, Mankovice and Butovice. From Slavic the route went through Drahotuse, Velka, Nejdek, Hyncice and Vrazne. Here the path crossed the Odra river and continued to Mankovice, Suchdol nad Ondrou, Hladke Zivotice, Pustejov and Butovice. Apart from this route, there was another one on the right side of the Odra, which was called "the Ox Path”. In Belotin it branched off the Amber Path to Blahutovice, Polouvsi, Hurka, Bernartice nad Odrou, Lapac, Bartosovice, Sedlnice, Mosnov, Stara Ves nad Ondrejnici to the area of Ostrava. These two paths were the starting point for all the other roads in the Area of Kravare. Castles began to take over the function of guards of the paths, transit transport through the Area of Kravare shifted from both old trade paths to a new "Castle Path” in the hills leading from Belotin via Stary Jicin to Hukvaldy, then to Frydek and Tesin to Krakow in Poland. On this path, mainly towns of Novy Jicin and Pribor were growing. A bit later, there was another significant path leading from Belotin to Odry, then to Fulnek and Opava.
