Říčky

Říčky combines a landscape between two valleys with cycle paths, a recreational pond and a local history that remains visible to this day. Anyone wishing to shape a stay in the Czech Republic not only around individual sights but also around nature, activity and local history will find several different ways to experience this small town.

Landscape between the Bobrava and Říčanský potok rivers

Říčky lies between the valley of the Bobrava and the valley of the Říčanský potok. This location gives the town a clear landscape setting and makes the two valleys an important part of its surroundings. Bahňák Pond lies on the Říčanský potok and serves as a place for recreation. This means that a stay here can be combined with more than just sporting activities: the pond provides its own focal point for quieter moments in the local landscape.

The forests around Říčky are also part of the town's character. They are suitable for mushroom picking and offer a seasonal way to explore the surroundings attentively. Those who prefer to travel by bicycle will find a dense network of cycle paths in Říčky, leading through a picturesque landscape.

Local History with Visible Reminders

A chapel with a bell tower is a prominent cultural landmark. A memorial plaque there commemorates citizens who fell in the First and Second World Wars. As a result, the town has a specific historical dimension alongside its natural character, one that can be read directly from a building and a memorial plaque.

The history of Říčky also shows how the town developed over a longer period. In the following centuries, a manor farm and a mill were built here. The district of Horní Říčky contains another historical trace: it was established in 1773–1777, and a coaching inn was built there that became known in the wider area and served as a rest stop for carters on their journeys. Here, the term refers not to a modern service but to a historical resting place for travellers with horse-drawn wagons. Together with the farm and mill, this coaching inn tells of the town's former uses and transport connections, without reducing Říčky to its past.

Sport, Play and Local Tradition

The sports complex in Říčky includes a tennis court and a children's playground. This means that the town has documented both a sporting facility and a dedicated area for play. Another part of its sporting history dates back to 1957: a football pitch was laid out in Říčky when a football club was founded there.

A culinary tradition is also documented for 2026. The municipality of Říčky invited residents and visitors to traditional municipal goulash. This event complements the themes of nature and history with a communal aspect and shows that local identity is visible not only in buildings or landscapes.

Orientation for Your Stay

Road II/602 is important for geographical orientation: Říčky lies on this major road connecting Brno and Jihlava. Anyone considering the town as a starting point for planning their own trip can therefore identify its location through this connection, without assuming distances or journey times.
