General presentation
Racibórz et vallée de l'Oder
Border town and Oder plain, with castle, parks, bike paths and links to nearby Moravia.
To understand what Rachibórz and Oder valley are, you must look at Castle of Racibórz, Oder and Arboretum Bramy Morawskiej. These places give us a view of a territory marked by urban life, riverscapes, heritage and countryside and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
