Horní Poříčí between the Křetínka Valley and Cycle Route 5160

Horní Poříčí lies in the valley of the Křetínka stream. Several specific themes come together to help you plan your trip: the landscape of the municipality, two chapels, a possible historical connection and marked routes. You can also plan your journey using bus connections in various directions. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first consider whether nature, culture, outdoor activities or getting there should be the main focus of your stay.

Landscape and nature

The municipal area includes pastures, arable land and mostly coniferous forest. Roe deer, fallow deer and wild boar are found in the surrounding area. Together with the Křetínka Valley, these features give your stay a specific connection to nature.

Chapels and architectural features

The Chapel of St Mary Magdalene is a brick building with a rectangular ground plan and a three-sided end. The ground plan describes its rectangular layout; the three-sided end specifies the shape at one end. This architectural form offers a specific point of interest for travellers interested in religious architecture. The Chapel of Our Lady of Sorrows is also located in Horní Poříčí u Letovic. If you would like to attend a service there, check the times with the parish in advance.

Local history

The origins of Poříčí are probably linked to the so-called Trstenice trade route. This possible connection adds a historical perspective to the buildings and routes. If you would like to explore the area through different themes, you can consider this possible historical connection alongside the chapels and outdoor activities.

Cycling and hiking

Marked cycle route 5160 passes through Horní Poříčí between Prostřední Poříčí and Bohuňov. A marked hiking trail also passes through the village. These two points of reference serve different planning needs: for the cycle route, the towns of Prostřední Poříčí and Bohuňov help you find your bearings; for a hike, the marked trail through Horní Poříčí is the relevant reference. When deciding whether cycling or hiking should shape your stay, you can use these routes as a starting point for planning your trip.

Getting there by bus and train

Bus services run from Horní Poříčí towards Polička, Svitavy, Brno, Boskovice and Letovice. In Letovice, connecting train services run towards Brno and Česká Třebová. The departure points differ: the bus services leave from Horní Poříčí, while the train connections are available in Letovice. Check the current timetables for your travel date and compare departure and connection times with your itinerary.

Find a hotel to suit your stay

When choosing a hotel, it helps to decide on the purpose of your trip first. A stay focused on cycling or hiking raises different planning questions from a visit centred on the chapels and local history. When considering a specific hotel, check whether its location and listed amenities suit your plans. Also take into account the routes you actually intend to use for your activities.
