For a stay in Deschney, you can choose from a range of options, including winter activities, family offers and local history. The Deštné ski area offers a varied range of winter sports, and ski touring routes also run nearby. A ski bus connects the town centre with the Marta ski area. When planning your trip, consider whether ski slopes, a ski tour or other excursions are most important to you.

Winter: Ski Area or Ski Tour

The Deštné ski area offers ski rental and servicing, a ski school, a groomed snow park and evening skiing on red and blue runs. Ski touring routes run near the ski area; some sections also follow cross-country ski trails. This gives you a choice of different winter activities: the ski area offers slopes and facilities, while the availability of ski tours depends on snow and local conditions.

The season matters for both options, but in different ways. Ski-lift operations vary, and available ski touring routes depend on snow and local conditions. So check which options are available before your travel date. An up-to-date assessment is especially helpful if you want to split your days between the ski area and ski touring.

The ski bus runs from the town centre, near the church, to the Marta ski area and back. Check its operating hours and timetable before your trip. This gives you a named starting point in the town centre and a specific destination at the ski area for your planning; you do not need to assume a journey time that has not been specified.

Family Offers and Active Excursions

The “Kačenčina pohádková stezka” fairytale trail is located near Deštné v Orlických horách. It has 18 stops with interactive elements and activities for the whole family. This is a different kind of outing from a day at the ski area: here, activities and interactive elements are spread across individual stops. The trail is seasonal; its opening and the content of its stops may change. So check what is currently on offer before visiting.

The Deštné high ropes course has a children’s course with 14 obstacles, as well as a large course with 25 obstacles and a climbing wall. The courses and climbing wall offer a separate activity option alongside the fairytale trail’s stops. The high ropes course is seasonal; operating dates and age requirements may change. If you plan to visit, check the current dates and age requirements in advance.

Nature and Local History

The “Okolím Deštného” nature trail starts in Deštné-Zákoutí and loops back to Deštné, ending at Národní dům. Along the way, it introduces visitors to the region’s natural beauty and history. The start and end points give the route a clearly defined course; seasonal conditions and signage may change, so it is a good idea to check current conditions before your visit.

The Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Dříš is also part of local history: Dříš is a district of Deštné v Orlických horách. The chapel was built and consecrated in 1809. Together with the nature trail, it offers a different focus from winter activities, bringing local history into view alongside nature and exercise.

Getting Your Bearings
