Discover Rychnov Na Moravě

Rychnov Na Moravě combines sacred culture with a distinctive landscape. Around Rychnovský vrch, pilgrimage history, wetland depressions, and small ponds meet an active side with mountain biking descents and walking opportunities. If you would like to combine nature experiences and cultural discoveries during your stay, the town offers a variety of reasons to plan a trip.

Rychnovský vrch: A landscape with distinctive details

The summit area of Rychnovský vrch is divided by a ridge. Between the ridges are wetland depressions with small ponds, giving the landscape its own character. Rychnovský vrch is a European site with the code CZ0530149 and an area of 353.3297 hectares. It was also designated a natural monument by a regulation of the Pardubický kraj region.

One of the distinctive points near Rychnovský vrch is the Lichtenštejn Memorial Stone. It is located beside a ring-shaped forest road. The combination of ridges, wetlands, and individual memorial sites makes the area interesting for visitors who want to explore a destination not only through individual sights, but also through impressions of the landscape.

Pilgrimage Chapel and Baroque Church

The Mariánská Studánka pilgrimage chapel is located on Rychnovský vrch and has a spring with drinking water. Its present form dates from 1931. This means that visitors can learn about both the chapel's more recent form and its connection with pilgrimage.

Another cultural highlight is the present-day Baroque Church of St. Nicholas, sv. Mikuláše, dating from 1730. Its interior is richly decorated with Rococo furnishings. Those interested in church architecture, historic interiors, and artistic details can experience a different focus here than on an excursion into the landscape. Both themes complement each other without requiring you to limit your trip to just one type of experience.

Rychnovská fara is also part of the history of the town. The rectory was built in 1777 during Rychnov's pilgrimage heyday. The impressive multi-storey building contains twelve rooms. Together with the church and chapel, it forms a cultural focal point where different periods and functions can be observed.

Active Excursions and Peaceful Walks

The “RyLes – Na paloučku” bike park is intended for challenging mountain bike descents and walks. Admission to the park is free; use is at your own risk. For planning your day, this means a clear choice between a sporting descent and a more peaceful circuit walk. The different options can be particularly appealing when not everyone in a travel group wants the same type of activity.

The Right Accommodation for Planning Your Trip

When looking for a hotel in Rychnov Na Moravě, you can therefore first decide which focus defines your trip: the landscape around Rychnovský vrch, sacred culture, or an active visit to the bike park. Those who want to combine several themes should compare their preferred location with their own plans for each day, without assuming distances or routes between the individual places.
