An important element creating Litovelsko is without doubt the Morava river.
The meanders created by this river, the underground karstic phenomenas and, in fact, the whole basin of Morava form a typical character to the region, largely belonging to CHKO Litovelské Pomoraví. Interestingly also, Morava does not run through any village besides the royal city of Litovel. Our ancestors built their residences farther from the river, due to repeated floods in spring time. However, those floods are beneficial for specific flood-plain forests’ biotopes.
