Orlické hory Protected Landscape Area

The Orlické hory Protected Landscape Area extends across 200 square kilometers of mountain ranges, dense forests, and permanent grassy ecosystems near the Polish border.

Established in 1969, this protected area contains remnants of historical fortifications and old mills that reflect the long-standing human presence in these mountains.

The protected area encompasses several villages where residents maintain traditional agricultural practices and preserve historical rural architecture through the seasons.

Visitors can access numerous marked trails for hiking and cycling, while winter offers opportunities for skiing at centers like Říčky and Deštné.

The Velká Deštná peak rises to 1,115 meters above sea level, presenting views across the entire mountain range and its diverse geological formations.
