Welcome to the tourist portal, which invites you to the tourist region of the Eagle Mountains and foothill.

Welcome to friendly landscape delineated on the north by the Eagle Mountains, which crosses over the Bystřický Mountains to the Polish Kladsko basin.  On the southwest the landscape opens up to the Bohemian lowlands with a wide valley formed by the confluence of the rivers Tichá and Divoká Orlice, which join the Morava River on the east.

The entire region has maintained its original natural character over the centuries, which is why you will find beech primeval forests, protected landscape areas or nature parks and reserves, interwoven with trails, right next to chateaux and town parks and groomed rural gardens. The gentle rolling hills interlaced with hiking trails, a dense network of cycle trails and routes leading along rivers are ideal for families with children, recreational tourists and seniors as well. Those who love excitement and sports will find plenty of adrenaline activities here. Romantics will find a corner for themselves not only in the higher parts of the mountains and dense forests, but also at meandering rivers winding through valleys, during boat rides on ponds and dams or at old castle ruins. And if you happen to get lost in mountain forests, maybe Princess Kačenka, ruler of the Eagle Mountains, will show you the right way. And in winter, Rampušák will help you out of an avalanche.

We wish you many beautiful and interesting experiences, moments of peace and quiet, relaxation and perhaps even making new friends while staying in our tourist region. We believe that you will be pleased to return to our region because it isn’t enough to sample our extensive tourist offer just once…!
