Přibyslav Nad Metují: The “Peklo” Route and the Landscape

Landscape between slopes and rocks

Přibyslav Nad Metují lies at the foot of the Orlické hory on a long slope. Forests partly surround the village, and from Přibyslav the view stretches up to 80 km across the landscape. In the surrounding area are the so-called “Skály,” with steep, high rock formations surrounded by lush forests. Near Přibyslav is also the place called “Koníček,” which tourists visit; from there, the view takes in the romantic Peklo valley and the Metuje River. The view from Koníček near Přibyslav over the valley and river differs from the long-distance view from Přibyslav, which reaches up to 80 km.

Plan the “Peklo” route

The “Peklo” tourist route leads right into the centre of Přibyslav. It is classed as an easy route and follows marked hiking trails. The destination, difficulty rating and trail markings each provide different information to help plan your trip. Conditions on the route can change, so check the current situation before setting out. Přibyslav is also a public transport stop on the “Peklo” tourist route. If you plan to use this stop for your arrival or onward journey, check the current services. Trail conditions and transport connections are separate aspects of trip planning.

Historic work and crafts

Historically, the people of Přibyslav made their living from agriculture and forestry. Traditional crafts included blacksmithing, carpentry and weaving. These three crafts represent different fields of work: metalworking, woodworking and textile production. They offer two ways to explore the history of the village: its traditional livelihoods and the specific craft activities. If you are interested in cultural history, these professions offer a starting point for exploring the village’s history beyond its landscape.

Local traditions and event dates

The traditional Posvícení in Přibyslav also includes “Stínání kohoutů.” If you would like to plan your trip around this festival, check the date and whether it is open to the public in advance. Since 1993, the Přibyslav Volunteer Fire Brigade has held its own competition, the “Přibyslavský pohár.” The year marks the start of the competition, not the date of a specific event. So check the event dates if you would like to attend the competition. Both examples show how local traditions can be a reason to travel at a particular time.

If you are looking for a hotel in Přibyslav Nad Metují, your reason for travelling can help structure your plans: for a hike, the current condition of the route and transport connections are the main considerations; for Posvícení or the “Přibyslavský pohár,” the specific dates matter. For Posvícení, you should also check whether it is open to the public. This helps you consider route and event arrangements separately.
