Eagle Mountains Escape
Czech Republic Tours main page

Perhaps with a handful of exceptions, the northeastern borderlands of the Czech Republic has yet not been discovered by foreigners. Yet the region of the Eagle Mountains, called Orlicke hory in Czech, a designated nature reserve, possesses that unspoiled rural mountain charm that has few parallels even in the Czech Republic. In the midst of this mountain range lies a picturesque mountain village retreat that has been a Shangri La for many famous Czech musicians and artists for the past half a century. Although a quiet, romantic hideaway, Little Rivers or Brooks, Ricky in Czech, is a popular winter ski resort and a summer outdoor sports getaway. With the Czech Republic about to gain full membership in the European Union, this mountain paradise will likely become a target for many Europeans in quest of purchasing the characteristic mountain chalets of this borderland. If you're eager to taste the unspoiled and unfrequented charm of the Czech borderlands, away from the hordes of tourists that have besieged the likes of Cesky Krumlov and Southern Bohemia, come to sample the bewitching beauty of the Eagle Mountains.

 

 

Itinerary:

.

Eagle Mountains/Orlické hory form about a 25-mile long ridge with several mountain tops reaching over 1000 m above sea level and offering fine views of eastern Bohemia to the south and Poland to the north. The region was first settled in the middle ages but proliferated in 17th and 18th centuries since which time date many of the area's dominant Baroque churches. Village house types, the "chalupa", a characteristic timber chalet, date back as the early 1800s and today comprise highly sought after recreational retreats. Declared a protected State nature reserve of beechen forests, evergreens,  peat-meadows and large variety of rare plants, the range offers wide array of nature trails suitable for hiking and mountain biking. Area's romantic inns and private chalets provide for an unforgettable ambiance.

Our tours can be tailor-made for your preferences, from one day to a week or longer. We can design itinerates that can include sightseeing, walking tours, road and off-road bike trips and other outdoor recreational activities, as well as property buying assistance if you'll fall in love with this area as all foreigners who have ventured out here do.
