At the “Zbudov, Samoty” trail signpost, marked trails lead in four directions; in addition, two cycling routes in Zbudov have a starting point with an information board. This means a walking route begins with choosing a direction, while the cycling options can be distinguished by their estimated riding time and route.

Continue on foot from the signpost

The “Zbudov, Samoty” signpost is at the edge of the forest above the Pastviny Reservoir. One specifically described direction follows the red-marked trail downhill, past the church and on to Klášterec nad Orlicí. The church is a distinctive landmark along the trail; Klášterec is the stated destination. Check the markings on site before following this route.

This trail description gives clear guidance for choosing between the marked directions: the red trail leads to Klášterec, while the signpost as a whole points to four directions. No walking time is given for this route, so plan according to your own schedule and check the signs along the way.

Comparing two moderately difficult cycling routes

The red “Kunvaldská” cycling route and the light-blue “Zaberská” cycling route pass through the Zemská brána area and its surroundings. Both have a starting point with an information board in Zbudov. Both routes are classified as moderately difficult. This makes it possible to compare two options with the same difficulty rating by their respective estimated riding times.

The estimated riding time for the red “Kunvaldská” route is 1.5 hours without breaks. For the light-blue “Zaberská” route, it is two hours, also without breaks. The difference is therefore around half an hour of riding time. Breaks are additional to both estimates. Check the route markings on site before setting out.

The names and colours help distinguish the two options: red for “Kunvaldská” and light blue for “Zaberská”. Both are moderately difficult, but their estimated riding times allow for different time frames for the trip. If you are weighing up the time available, you can compare these figures directly without factoring in breaks.

Along the Černý potok and in the surrounding area

Another cycling route starts in the Zbudov district of Klášterec nad Orlicí. It is called “Z Klášterce nad Orlicí přes Potoky a Ameriku zase zpět”. It follows the Černý potok, whose banks are lined with wooded rocks, and joins the blue-marked trail from Zemská brána. The route passes through a valley sheltered by slopes and forest on three sides and traversed by the Černý potok. The trail connections are a distinctive part of the route description; the surface may change.

Near Zbudov is the protected rocky stretch of Zemská brána on the Divoká Orlice, close to the Pastviny Reservoir and Klášterec nad Orlicí. Zbudov is also located in the Žamberk–Králíky CHOPAV protected water management area. These features give the place its landscape setting without combining the different trail routes into a single loop.

A protected house in the village

Alongside its trails and landscape, Zbudov also has a specific architectural landmark: protected rural house No. 13 is located in the village. Its protected status makes it part of the local cultural heritage. This means that when finding your way around Zbudov, you can look to both the trails and a named building, without the landscape alone defining the character of the place.

Which route idea suits your plans?

For a walking trip, the route along the red-marked trail to Klášterec is the specifically named option. By bike, you can compare the two moderately difficult routes by their estimated riding times or focus on the route along the Černý potok and through the valley. This lets you choose the focus of your stay: a marked walking connection, a straightforward comparison of cycling times, or a route whose description highlights the stream and wooded slopes.
