Discover Klásterec Nad Orlicí

Klásterec Nad Orlicí combines the valley of the Divoká Orlice with distinctive rock formations, protected landscapes, and an educational trail that links knowledge about nature with a specific hiking route. If you are planning a stay with a variety of discoveries, you will find here both a riverside landscape and cultural sites in the village. The river landscape, rocks, and protected nature give the stay different focal points.

The Zemská brána Educational Trail

The Zemská brána educational trail is at the heart of the nature experiences. It is 2.5 km long, designed for pedestrians, and of medium difficulty. The trail ends at the settlement of Osada Amerika above Klášterec nad Orlicí. This makes it possible to regard the route as a clearly defined hiking stage without mixing its length with other excursions. For planning purposes, the route is therefore clearly outlined: its length, difficulty level, and endpoint are fixed and can be considered separately from other excursions.

Along the educational trail are 10 stations with information panels, as well as several interactive elements for children. For families who would like to discover and explain things during a walk, these stations are a specific part of the route. Information to read and hands-on elements create different focal points along the trail. One of the interesting sites along the educational trail is Ledříčkova skála.

Rocky Valley and the Route along the Divoká Orlice

The Zemská brána Nature Reserve protects a rocky valley of the Divoká Orlice with interesting geological formations. The area lies within the cadastral area of Klášterec nad Orlicí. For visitors, it is primarily accessible via a blue-marked hiking trail along the Divoká Orlice; the educational trail with its interactive elements also follows this route. The blue trail marking provides the specific orientation reference for access, while the educational trail uses the same route.

Another documented connection between the village and the landscape leads from Upper Klášterec to the Pašerácká lávka footbridge. The route follows the Divoká Orlice along a nature-focused educational trail in a landscape protection area. When planning, you can therefore distinguish whether you want to focus on the 2.5 km Zemská brána educational trail or the route from Upper Klášterec to the Pašerácká lávka footbridge.

Natural Monuments in the Village Landscape

Klášterec nad Orlicí also has distinctive natural features within the village itself. The Tománkova lípa stands by Farmhouse No. 66 and is one of the most imposing natural monument trees in the Pardubický kraj region. Čertova skalka (Čertovka) is a rock formation on the hill opposite the primary school of Klášterec nad Orlicí. Its depressions resemble the imprint of a devil's hoof. In this way, the perception of the landscape extends from the protected valley to individual distinctive features in the village landscape.

Culture and Further Orientation

Klášterec nad Orlicí lies in the valley of the Divoká Orlice. The municipality is also home to the Church of the Most Holy Trinity. If you would like to combine nature and local history during your stay, the riverside landscape, protected landscapes, rock formations, and church offer different focal points. You can find further places for regional research at Mostek, Bučina, Valterice, Dlouhoňovice, Běstovice, Těchonín, Lisnice and Přívrat.
