It is not advisable. These are wild animals, not tame ones, and wild boar in particular can be aggressive when with their young. Stay on the trails, never feed them — feeding changes their behaviour and draws them towards people — and keep dogs on a lead.
Early morning or before sunset, when the animals move and are most often seen. October is the finest month for colour. Avoid the middle of the day in summer — the animals shelter in shade and the forest is largely empty of them.

A historic game reserve turned city forest in western Brno, covering some two hundred and fifty hectares between residential districts. It was established in the eighteenth century as a hunting reserve for the nobility, and still holds herds of deer, wild boar and mouflon living freely within the perimeter fence. That makes walking here unlike any city park: you may see wild animals at close range with no arrangement and no cages. The trails are numbered and clear and suit walking, cycling and running, with lookout points and a watchtower. The woodland is mixed with old oak and beech, and its colour in October is among the best in the region. Entry is free and open year-round. Access is by tram or bus from central Brno then a short walk to one of the entrances. This is a place for residents more than for tourists — and for that very reason it earns half a day if you are spending longer in the city.

A city forest used by the people of Brno rather than a tourist destination.
