Říčky lies between the Bobrava Valley and the Říčanský potok Valley. The Bahňák pond, the forests around the town and a dense network of cycle routes offer different ways to shape a stay: scenery and relaxation, cycling or local history. As you plan your trip, this is a good first question to ask: which of these aspects should define your visit?
Pond, valleys and forests
The Bahňák pond lies on the Říčanský potok and is a place for relaxation. Together with its location between the two valleys, it offers a tangible connection to the landscape, without requiring a single viewpoint to define your stay. The forests around Říčky are suitable for mushroom picking and add another nature-themed option alongside the water and valleys.
These options appeal to different interests: Bahňák offers relaxation by the water, while the forests are suited to mushroom picking. If you want to make nature the focus of your visit, you can use these options to guide your choice of destination. The valleys, in turn, shape Říčky’s geographic setting and give the town its own distinctive landscape.
Cycling and sport
Říčky has a dense network of cycle routes that run through picturesque countryside. Cycling is therefore a distinct focus for trip planning. If you choose a destination based on its cycling opportunities, the network is a key local feature. The landscape and cycling can be considered together: the routes pass through picturesque surroundings.
The sports complex in Říčky includes a tennis court and a children’s playground. Before planning your visit, check locally whether the facilities you want to use are available. The football pitch is also part of the town’s sporting history: it was built in 1957, when a football section was established there. Access arrangements may vary.
Memorial and local history
A chapel with a bell tower and a commemorative plaque honors the residents who fell in the First and Second World Wars. This site connects local history with a specific act of remembrance. Together with the town’s other historical connections, it offers a different way to experience Říčky from its nature and sports attractions.
In the centuries that followed, a manor farm and a mill were built in Říčky. Another historical landmark is Horní Říčky, which was established between 1773 and 1777. A coaching inn was built there; it was well known in the wider area and served as a resting place for carters on their journeys. This local history also tells of earlier ways of travelling and getting around.
Planning your stay
For travel planning, road II/602 is a useful geographic reference: Říčky lies on this important road connecting Brno and Jihlava. The coaching inn’s historical role in Horní Říčky adds the story of earlier travellers who stopped here to rest to this present-day connection.
A culinary occasion is also part of local life: in 2026, the municipality invited residents and visitors to its traditional municipal goulash event. If you would like to include this occasion in your travel plans, check the dates for your travel period.
