Rybí (de|Reimlich) is a municipality and village in Nový Jičín District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the watercourse Rybí potok (literally 'fish stream'), which is today called Rybský potok.[2]
Rybí is located about 5km (03miles) east of Nový Jičín and 25km (16miles) southwest of Ostrava. It lies in the Moravian-Silesian Foothills. The highest point is the hill Libhošťská hůrka at 494m (1,621feet) above sea level. The stream Rybský potok flows through the municipality.
Rybí was founded in 1397.[3] According to local legends, Rybí existed already in 1241, but was destroyed by a Tatar raid.[2]
The D48 motorway (the section from Nový Jičín to Frýdek-Místek) runs along the northern municipal border.
Rybí is suitable for skiing in the winter season. There is a small ski resort with two platter ski lifts, one 200 m long and the other 450 m long.[4]
The most important monument is the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross. Other sights include two chapels that commemorate the former massive pilgrimage procession of the faithful, and glacial erratics.[5]
