Nature

The township of Malšín lies outside the normal tourist routes - the advantage to this is that the town can offer the undisturbed richness of nature and plenty of hiking trails. The highest point of the area is Malšínský kamen, or Malšín rock. In the warm months, the surrounding forests invite mushroom picking as well as blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.
