Králíky

Králíky is a historic municipality in the Ústí nad Orlicí District with around 4,100 residents. It sits at about 550 meters elevation on the border between Hanušovice Highlands and Kłodzko Valley near Poland.

The first written mention dates to 1568, and in 1577 Zdeněk of Waldstein acquired the area with ten neighboring villages. Between 1696 and 1710, a major pilgrimage complex was built next to healing springs, shaping the region's story.

The Church of Saint Michael stands at the center and shows its Protestant Renaissance roots through its design. This building reflects how the community's beliefs shaped its physical center over centuries.

The town connects through road I/43 and a railway line running from Ústí nad Orlicí to Moravský Karlov. The hilly border location means visitors should expect rolling terrain and variable weather conditions.

Between 1696 and 1710, Bishop Tobias Johannes Becker built an impressive pilgrimage center next to healing springs. This historic complex draws visitors interested in Baroque architecture and the tradition of spa culture.
