About Brno, local part Bystrc

Bystrc is one of the urban districts of Brno, situated at its northwestern edge. On the extensive Bystrc cadastral area, which forms the urban part, there are several very interesting places, which extend beyond the borders of the region. This is especially a recreational area Brno Dam, ZOO, Castle Veveří or the region „Pohádka máje“ (Fairy Tales region), located in the Podkomorské woods area.

The actual residential development of Bystrc is significantly smaller compared to the entire Bystrc cadastral area, most of it consists of a panel housing estate with almost 25,000 inhabitants, making Bystrc the fifth largest urban district of Brno. On the northern side, the development is bounded by Mniší hora and the zoo area, then by the Svratka River and the Brno Dam, beyond the western edge lies the Podkomorské lesy, and beyond the southwestern edge lies the Žebětín district. On the southern and south-eastern side there is the protected area Pekárna and Údolí oddech.
Bystrc is further divided into: the Old Bystrc, reminiscent of the original village by the Svratka River, from whose swift flow the name Bystrc is situated. The adjacent prefabricated housing forms the so-called Bystrc I, the newer part of the settlement of the route of the Old Highway Žebětín is called Bystrc II.
