Å edivec is a destination for travelers who want to combine landscapes, outdoor activities and history. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore base your decision on how you would like to spend your day: on a nature-focused educational trail, a marked hike, a cycling trip or exploring the historical traces of the village.

Forest Knowledge on the Bažantnice–Obora Educational Trail

The Bažantnice–Obora educational trail provides information about the history and present-day management of forests, historical connections and the natural features of the area. It ends near Šedivec–Obora at a former forester’s lodge. This combination of specialist topics and a specific historical destination gives the trail its distinctive character: you experience the forest not only as a landscape, but also gain insight into its use and development.

The return journey can also be incorporated into your day plan. The end of the educational trail near Å edivec is served by buses; alternatively, you can travel back to Letohrad.

Marked Trails for Hikers and Cyclists

A blue-marked hiking route runs from Letohrad through Å edivec to NekoÅ™. The village is therefore located on a continuously marked connection between these two directions. For a trip combining longer stretches of travel with changing landscapes, this route is an important point of orientation.

Cyclists will also find a clearly identifiable route: Cycling Route 4074 is signposted with white band markings. After crossing Road I/11, it leads to Å edivec.

A Small Mountain Village Between River Valleys

Šedivec is a small mountain village on a hill rising from the valley of the Tichá Orlice. The hill slopes down toward the Divoká Orlice and the Nekořský potok. This setting shapes the village’s spatial orientation: instead of a flat settlement area, you encounter different elevations and several valleys here.

Would you like to combine your stay with marked trails and nature-related topics, or should the history of the village take center stage? The facts about Å edivec offer concrete starting points for both interests.

History and Church Above the Village

The first written mention of Å edivec dates from 1539. Another important landmark is the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. It stands at the foot of the hill above Å edivec; construction of the church was completed in 1898. The history of the village can therefore be explored not only through a year, but also through a visible building whose date of origin is clearly documented.

Those who enjoy combining different interests on a trip can choose in Å edivec between forest-related topics, hiking and cycling routes, and a visit focused on history.
