Rybí (could be loosely translated to English as "belonging to fish") is a small village in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. The first written record about this village was found in the year of 1411. The village was formerly known as Rybnik ( _de. Reimlich). Rybi is located about 5km to the east of Nový Jičín city and about 6km to the west of Kopřivnice. The village is geographically surrounded by three hills - from the south side by the 'Puntík' (with its top at 500m AMSL) and the 'Holivák' hill (483m) and from the north by the 'Libhošťská hůrka' (with altitude 493m). In the year of 2007 the village has had around 1,100 inhabitants.

Leisure activities

Due to great geographical location of the village with its surrounding hills and many forests, the Rybi is, especially in the summer, very suitable for hiking or mountain-biking. There are lots of adjusted pathways and bike paths around the entire village. The adjacent forests are full of routes and tracks created by people, caused by logging or natural gas mining. Very popular sport in winter time is skiing. The village has two platter ski lifts, one 200m and second 450m long. With so many straight and large meadows located on the top of the hills the place is also suitable for cross-country skiing.

Lodging

There are no accommodation services in this area. You can find some hotels in the city of Nový Jičín or in the nearly village Štramberk which is also really worth seeing.

Transport

The connection from and to nearly cities Nový Jičín and Kopřivnice is provided by local bus transport. The buses are going almost every hour during the week-time and about every two or three hours on the weekends. From the Nový Jičín city you can easily find a bus or train connection to big Czech cities such as Praha ( _en. Prague), Ostrava or Brno. You can also use the international Ostrava Leos Janacek Airport (located about 20km northern from Nový Jičín).
