Zone counts are measured from the point above, which is Ostrava's centre as recorded by GeoNames; a zone counts if any part of it falls within 12 km of it. That radius scales with population and is not Ostrava's administrative boundary, so a zone just outside the city limits still appears - which is what matters when you are deciding where to take off. Population 279,791 (GeoNames, record updated 2026-04-13). City data from GeoNames, licensed CC BY 4.0. Zone data is the official Czechia dataset, unmodified except for normalisation to ED-269.
