The Beskydy forest is a protected natural-reservation with marked tracks to the surrounding tops. The areas around the village close to the woodedge, including meadows, pastures, and fields have got fixed entry in the land register, which cannot be altered. These properties are mostly held by certain families for generations. Even they can only maintain the area of old, since an expansion is strictly prohibited. Not only these estates fringe the hillsides, also a lot of cottages, which are used by other vacationists of nearby towns, most of them are electrified, connected to the water system. In the nearby Town Karviná (40 min by car) there were once huge coal pits, providing each household in Tyra with electricity from the power plant and fuel. Despite the now partly closed surface-pits, coal still comes from other mines in CZ, Poland, Slovakia, but people tend to use the cheaper wood (in case of an own forest, even for free). With the opening to the north, the valley has got a limited sun access during the day. The east orientated hill sides have an earlier dusk, whereas the west orientated dales receives longer daylight at dawn.
