Horní Poříčí lies in the valley of the Křetínka stream; the waymarked cycle route 5160 passes through the village between Prostřední Poříčí and Bohuňov. This places Horní Poříčí in context both through its location in the valley and its connection to a named cycle route. There are also two chapels, a waymarked hiking trail and bus services in several directions. These different features can help you decide what role the village should play in your stay.

Valley, Landscape and Wildlife

The municipality includes pastures, arable land and predominantly coniferous forest. These three features show that both open land and forest shape the municipal area, with coniferous trees predominating in the forest. Roe deer, fallow deer and wild boar are found around Horní Poříčí. This connection with nature complements the cultural sights and waymarked routes when deciding where to travel. If the landscape is an important factor in your choice of destination, the valley, the open areas within the municipality and the surrounding wildlife are all relevant considerations.

Chapels and Local History

The Chapel of St Mary Magdalene (sv. Máří Magdaleny) is a masonry building with a rectangular floor plan and a three-sided end. The floor plan describes the building’s basic shape, while the three-sided end describes the design at the end of the structure. Anyone interested in architectural forms can identify the chapel by its specific architecture. The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows (Panny Marie Bolestné) is also located in Horní Poříčí u Letovic. If you would like to attend a service there, check the service times with the parish in advance. The village’s history offers another perspective: the origins of Poříčí are probably connected with the so-called Trstenice Land Route.

Exploring on Foot and by Bike

Cycle route 5160 passes through Horní Poříčí between Prostřední Poříčí and Bohuňov. Its number and the names of the two villages provide specific orientation for cyclists. A waymarked hiking trail also passes through the village. This means a numbered cycle route and a waymarked walking trail offer two different ways to explore the area. If you are planning a specific trip, check the route and current conditions in advance.
