Radimovice: Hotels and Accommodation

The Sychrovský Viaduct is located in the cadastral area of the municipality of Radimovice, is 120 metres long and 11.5 metres wide, and rises 32 metres above the Mohelka Valley.

Culture and History

The railway tunnel on the route between Pardubice and Liberec was excavated beneath Radimovice between 1856 and 1858. It is 676 metres long.

Sacred monuments include the sandstone statues of Saint Lawrence, Saint John of Nepomuk and Saint Florian from the 18th and 19th centuries. The statue of Saint Barbara stands on a hilltop overlooking Radimovice and the surrounding landscape.

The state-owned Sychrov Château is located in the immediate vicinity of Radimovice. Vila Zelenka was built in the château’s surroundings as the first recreational or holiday house and served this purpose there in the following years.

Festivals

The Masopust carnival in Radimovice is the municipality’s largest cultural event and includes a masked procession. Visitors can take part in a competition for the best carnival doughnuts and sample traditional carnival specialities.

The Sychrovská Pilgrimage has been mentioned since the 19th century and has taken place on the first Sunday in September since 1920. Market stalls and fairground rides extend along Radimovice’s main road.

Nature

Below the summit of Hrobka lies a body of water covering approximately two hectares, referred to as “Světský rybník” on some maps. It has no inflow and is fed exclusively by rain and snowfall. Mallards, coots, the non-native Egyptian goose and reed warblers regularly breed at Světský rybník.

The middle section of the Mohelka forms a transitional stretch between a mountain river and a lowland river; this is referred to as the “grayling zone”. Brown trout, grayling and bullhead occur in this grayling zone. Kingfishers, grey wagtails and white-throated dippers are relatively common along the grayling zone.

More than 150 bird species have been recorded in Radimovice. The steep northern slopes above the Mohelka contain relatively well-preserved beech stands. In early spring, a visible spring aspect with flowering understorey plants can be observed in the remnants of beech stands on the steep slopes around the Mohelka.

Paths and Transport

The Sychrov railway stop is 10 to 15 minutes uphill on foot from the centre of Radimovice. Several cycle routes pass through or around Radimovice.
