THE PUBLIC AND FOREST ROADS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF RECREATIONAL USE

The right of everyone to enter the forest and move freely within it can be described as the general use of the forest. It is, among others, enshrined in 19 of Act No. 289/1995 Coll., on forests, which provides the right of everyone to do so at their own risk, but also the obligation not to damage the forest, not to disturb the forest environment and to follow the instructions of the owner or the tenant and his employees. The right of owners is considerably limited by the general use institution. On the other hand, the following provision ( 20) exhaustively defines activities which are prohibited in the forest, or which can be operated only on forest roads. The forest road is publicly accessible. From this statute arise certain obligations for the owners, but equally important is to realize, not just for the owners but especially for the public, which roads of the forest communication network can be referred to as forest roads.
