Lanškroun
Lanškroun is located in gently rolling countryside between the Orlické Mountains, not far from the historic provincial border with Moravia. A town with a rich history and a charming centre, it appeals both to architecture lovers and to visitors seeking peaceful greenery or a rich cultural programme.
Czech Třebová
An important yet picturesque town in the Pardubice Region at the foothills of the Orlické Mountains—this is Česká Třebová. Most of us associate it primarily with the railway. The town is a major transport hub in eastern Bohemia, but it would be a shame to see it only as a transfer station on our travels.
Žamberk
Žamberk lies at the foothills of the Orlické Mountains, and its banks are washed by the Wild Orlice River. The origins of the town date back to the 13th century. In the town centre and historic core, a whole range of well-preserved statues, historic buildings and many sacred monuments have been preserved. Discover a picturesque town with a heritage zone, facilities for tourists, an interesting history and beautiful nature in the surrounding area.
