The Hraběcí Nature Trail, playgrounds and regional cycling route 4077 offer different experiences in Dolni Orlice. The nature trail loosely connects a fairy tale with the history of the village; at the playgrounds, specific details about facilities and access matter, while the cycling route is rated difficult. You can then plan your journey using the train and parking information.
Hraběcí Nature Trail and St. Anne’s Chapel
The Hraběcí Nature Trail is associated with a fairy tale that is loosely connected to the history of the village. Two distinctive shelters with benches provide space to rest and enjoy a packed meal. The trail thus combines a cultural connection with a practical place to take a break.
Another historical point of interest is St. Anne’s Chapel in Dolní Orlice. Pilgrimage Masses were celebrated in the chapel by prior arrangement. The information was updated on June 4, 2019; check for current announcements before visiting.
Playgrounds: Access and Facilities
The route to the woodland playground follows an unpaved dirt track and is fully accessible to strollers, bicycle trailers and wheelchairs. Bear the unpaved surface in mind when planning your trip there.
The children’s playground in Dolní Orlice has play equipment for children aged 3 to 14, including slides, swings, a fire tower with play features, a small square trampoline, a training hexagon, a climbing fire engine and spring riders. The playground is fenced; mature trees on its southeast side provide shade for all visitors during the summer months. Access to the children’s playground is fully accessible to strollers, bicycle trailers and wheelchairs.
The practical considerations differ: at the woodland playground, plan for the unpaved access path; at the children’s playground, the age range and equipment provide a clear overview of what is available. Both are fully accessible.
