Tourism
Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The entire region has maintained its original natural character over the centuries and so beech primeval forests, protected landscape areas or nature parks and reserves are interwoven with trails, right next to chateaux and town parks and groomed rural gardens. The gentle rolling hills are interlaced with hiking trails, a dense network of cycle trails and routes leading along rivers.
Protection
Most of the Orlické Mountains are part of the Orlické hory Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Orlické hory), a protected landscape area of 204 km2 established in 1969.[1]
History
Until 1945 the Orlické Mountains were predominantly German populated, the population was expropriated and expelled. Subsequently, new citizens moved here from the Czech lands.[2]
