Říčky in the Orlické Mountains lies on a western spur of the Orlické Mountains, partly on elevated ground and partly in valleys and basins shaped by numerous streams and small waterways. The landscape provides a setting for a range of activities: alpine skiing and cross-country skiing in winter, as well as a bike park offering that applied to summer 2026. There is also a publicly accessible bunker, a group of large stones and traditional mountain houses. To plan your trip, you can first decide based on the season and the activity you have in mind.
Winter: alpine skiing and cross-country skiing
The Ski centrum Říčky offers alpine skiing. Its facilities include a four-seat chairlift, a snowpark, ski rental, ski servicing and a ski school. The centre brings together the alpine skiing focus and several related services. It also maintains a cross-country ski trail network, including the 12-kilometre “Buď Fit” route, which passes through Pěticestí and Mezivrší. The trail network is maintained during the winter season. This lets you distinguish between alpine skiing and a named cross-country route when planning your trip.
Bike park offering and different trail features
The bike park offering for summer 2026 included three trails of varying difficulty, as well as a pump track and a skills course. The blue trail is intended primarily for beginners and families with children. For the red trail, its length and features are useful points of reference: it is two kilometres long and includes berms, jumps and tables. You can therefore decide which is more relevant to your plans: the blue trail’s specifically stated target group, or the red trail’s length and features. The pump track and skills course complement the three trails.
Bunker and group of stones
The two-storey Pěchotní srub R-S 87 Průsek bunker lies above Říčky in the Orlické Mountains and is open to the public. It is located on the red route between the peaks of Mezivrší and Anenský vrch. Kameny v Říčkách is a group of large upright stones about 500 metres from the centre of the village. The two destinations appeal to different interests: for the bunker, the structure and its location on the route go together; for the group of stones, its approximate distance from the centre is a practical point of reference.
Traditional mountain houses and local character
The traditional mountain houses also give the village an architectural focus. Říčky in the Orlické Mountains has notable houses typical of the Orlické Mountains, mostly built using log or half-timbered log construction. These building styles complement the sporting opportunities with a glimpse of the mountain region’s traditional architecture. If you do not want to plan your stay solely around activities, you can also consider these houses as part of the village’s character.
When planning your dates, it is important to distinguish between the seasonal offerings: the cross-country ski network is maintained in winter, while the bike park details given here relate to the summer 2026 offering. If one of these activities is a deciding factor, check the latest operating information before your trip and choose your dates accordingly.
