About Hradec Králové Region

The Hradec Králové Region offers a stark contrast between high mountain ridges and intricate sandstone labyrinth cities. In the north, Krkonošský národní park features steep glacial cirques, alpine tundra, and stony paths that climb above the tree line. This is a landscape of exposed granite boulders and dwarf pines, where walkers can follow long-distance ridge trails along the Polish border. In October, the mountain grasses turn a deep bronze, signaling the early arrival of autumn.

Further east and west, the terrain changes to dramatic sandstone formations. In CHKO Broumovsko and CHKO Český ráj, the paths wind through narrow rock fissures, pine-crested towers, and cool, shaded gorges where the ground is often soft with damp sand and pine needles. These areas do not have the high, open peaks of the northern range, but rather offer intimate, sheltered walking routes where wooden steps and ladders help navigate the vertical rock passages.

For those seeking gentler, forested ridges without the steep rocky climbs, CHKO Orlické hory provides rolling meadows, quiet beech forests, and grassy tracks. This area is characterized by its long, steady ascents and wide, grassy ridges that are less rugged underfoot than the rocky paths of the national parks. It is a reliable choice for long, rhythmic walks through a working countryside of scattered timber cottages and upland pastures.
