Přibyslav Nad Metují lies at the foot of the Orlické Mountains on a long, gently sloping hillside. Forests partly surround the town. The “Peklo” hiking route, nearby rock formations and historic craft traditions offer different perspectives on the area. For your stay, you can therefore choose to focus on a marked hiking trail, landscape views or historical themes.
The “Peklo” route leads to the town centre
The “Peklo” hiking route leads to the centre of Přibyslav. It is classified as an easy route and follows marked hiking trails. The route thus combines a specific hike with a destination in the town centre. Check current trail conditions before setting out, as they can change. Přibyslav is also a public transport stop along the route. If you plan to use this stop for your journey or for part of the route, check the current connections beforehand.
Hillside location, panoramic views and rock formations
The so-called “Skály” are located near Přibyslav: steep, tall rock formations surrounded by lush forests. The site of “Koníček” near Přibyslav is also visited by tourists; from there, you can look out over the romantic Peklo valley and the Metuje River. From Přibyslav, views extend across the landscape for up to 80 kilometres. The scenery varies: at Skály, the rock formations and forest take centre stage; at Koníček, the views are of the valley and river; while from Přibyslav, it is the far-reaching panorama that stands out. You can choose your excursions according to whether you want to focus on rocks, views of the valley and river, or a wide-ranging landscape panorama.
Historical livelihoods and crafts
Historically, the inhabitants of Přibyslav made their living from agriculture and forestry. Traditional crafts included blacksmithing, carpentry and weaving. These three activities represent metalworking, woodworking and textile production. Together, they offer a glimpse into the town’s former ways of life and work, adding a cultural theme to the routes and landscapes. If you are interested in local history, you can make these economic and craft traditions a focus of your stay.
Plan around traditions before your trip
The traditional Posvícení celebration in Přibyslav includes “Stínání kohoutů”. If you would like to experience this event, check the dates and whether it is open to the public before travelling. The “Přibyslavský pohár” competition organised by the Přibyslav Volunteer Fire Brigade began in 1993. If you would like to include the competition in your plans, check before your trip whether and when an event is scheduled.
Choose your stay to suit your interests
When searching for a holiday rental, it can help to decide first what you would like to focus on: the route leading to the town centre, the varied landscapes, or the historical traditions. Consider which of these aspects you would like to prioritise during your stay.
