Dolni Orlice: Educational Trail, Cycling Route and Family Trips

Hraběcí Educational Trail: Fairy Tale and Rest Areas

The Hraběcí Educational Trail is associated with a fairy tale that is loosely connected to the history of the village. There are two original shelters with benches along the trail. Visitors can rest there and have a snack.

Playgrounds with Different Features

Families can choose between two different playgrounds in Dolní Orlice. The route to the forest playground leads along an unpaved field track and is fully accessible for pushchairs, bicycle trailers and wheelchairs.

The children's playground in Dolní Orlice has play equipment for children aged 3 to 14. It includes slides, swings, a fire station tower with play elements, a small square trampoline, a training hexagon, a climbing fire engine and spring riders. The playground is fenced; mature trees on its southeastern side provide shade for all visitors during the summer months. Its access is also fully accessible for pushchairs, bicycle trailers and wheelchairs. The two playgrounds offer different features: The forest playground combines access via an unpaved field track with full accessibility, while the fenced children's playground is characterized by its many pieces of equipment, age range and trees providing summer shade.
