Nová Ves: Nature in the Wider Region

In the wider region around Nová Ves, the Orlice River landscape and the Mezi Orlicemi nature trail offer different nature experiences. Hiking and cycling in the nature park and around the ponds are distinct from a paddling trip. The specific starting point and conditions along your chosen route are key.

Quick facts about the regional nature destinations

• Mezi Orlicemi runs through the Orlice Nature Park and alongside the Velký Karlov and Malý Karlov ponds.
• The nature trail is suitable for hiking and cycling.
• The Orlice forms a river system with numerous protected areas and nature reserves.
• Between Choceň and Týniště nad Orlicí, there are several weirs and mill channels along the Tichá Orlice.

On foot or by bike

The Mezi Orlicemi nature trail connects the nature park and ponds, creating a scenic setting for an outing. If you would rather travel along a path than on the water, you can choose between hiking and cycling here. Velký Karlov and Malý Karlov are specific ponds along the route; this does not guarantee bathing spots or recreational facilities on the banks.

Choose an access point that is actually open for your outing and check the current route information. The regional location does not mean that the nature trail starts directly at accommodation in Nová Ves. Compare the journey to the starting point with the time you plan to spend on the outing.

The Orlice as a natural landscape

The Orlice river system forms the basis of the extensive Orlice Nature Park. It includes numerous protected areas and nature reserves. A single nature trail is therefore just one possible way to explore this larger landscape. Follow the local route and access rules at your chosen destination rather than assuming that the name “nature park” means unrestricted access to every area.

Paddling route and actual conditions

The lower sections of the Tichá Orlice and Divoká Orlice, as well as the combined Orlice, are considered suitable for beginners and are described as generally navigable year-round. This is a general characterization of these river sections, not a guarantee for every day, every stretch, or every person.

There are several weirs and mill channels along the Tichá Orlice between Choceň and Týniště nad Orlicí. For a specific paddling trip, therefore, consider not only where to put in and take out, but also how to handle the obstacles on your exact route. Get up-to-date local information and choose your route according to your skills and the actual water conditions.
