Říčky: Cycling Routes, Valleys and Local History

Říčky lies between the valley of the Bobrava and the valley of the Říčanský potok. The village combines this landscape with a dense network of cycling routes, a recreational pond and clearly identifiable traces of its history. When choosing a destination, you can first consider whether you would rather focus on cycling, nature, cultural history or an occasion tied to a specific date. The road II/602 is also a useful point of reference: Říčky lies on the major route connecting Brno and Jihlava.

Landscape and Nature

The Bahňák pond lies on the Říčanský potok and is used for recreation. Together with the two valleys, it gives the landscape a specific name. The forests around Říčky are suitable for mushroom picking, adding a different connection with nature to recreation by the water. If you are planning your stay around the landscape, you can consider the valley, pond and forest as distinct draws: the geographical setting, a named recreational spot and the forests as a destination for mushroom picking.

Local History and Remembrance

A chapel with a bell tower and a commemorative plaque remembers the residents who fell in the First and Second World Wars. A manor farm and a mill also form part of the village’s history; both were built in the centuries that followed. The village district of Horní Říčky was established between 1773 and 1777. A coaching inn was built there and became known throughout the surrounding area, serving as a resting place for carters on their journeys. These landmarks give local history several focal points: remembrance, the manor farm and mill, and the historic resting places used by carters.

Cycling and Sports

Říčky has a dense network of cycling routes that wind through picturesque countryside. Unlike individual local landmarks such as the pond or chapel, cycling focuses not on one specific place but on the network of routes and the landscape. If you are choosing your trip with cycling in mind, this is a clear leisure highlight: the cycling routes form a connected focus, while the pond and chapel are individual named points of interest.

The sports area in Říčky includes a tennis court and a children’s playground. If you want to include one of these facilities in your plans, check its current availability locally. The football pitch is also part of the village’s history: it was established in 1957, when a football section was founded there. If you are considering using the pitch, check access arrangements locally in advance.

Annual Event and Choosing a Hotel

In 2026, the municipality of Říčky invited residents and visitors to its traditional community goulash event. Dates vary from year to year, so check the relevant announcement if you want to plan a trip around it. When choosing your dates, it is worth distinguishing between permanent highlights—landscape, cycling routes and local history—and the community goulash, which takes place on a specific date each year.
