Mladkov: Hotels and Accommodation

Mariánská skála is approximately 12 metres high and has more than 20 routes ranging from moderate to very high difficulty. The Mladkov climbing area consists of gneiss rocks on a valley slope of the Tichá Orlice on the outskirts of Mladkov. The Tmavěmodrá PL/CZ cycling route begins at the Czech-Polish border crossing near Mladkov.

Mladkov’s landmark is the early Baroque Church of St John the Baptist, built at the end of the 17th century. The single-nave building has a polygonal presbytery and a square tower on the west façade. The west tower features a stone portal dated 1736 and, in a niche, a stone statue of St John the Baptist with a lamb. Next to the church stands a statue of St John of Nepomuk; a Marian column stands in the western part of Mladkov Square.

The Betonová hranice educational trail begins and ends in the centre of Mladkov and comprises 23 information panels about the construction, purpose, history and fate of the Czechoslovak border fortifications.

The Border Tree at the tourist crossing point from Mladkov to its Polish neighbours is an ash tree that has been growing since 1581 and marked the border between the estates of Zdeněk Valdštejn and Michael von Tschirnhaus. The site of the Border Tree near Mladkov is accessible by car; a car park and a tourist rest area have been established in the immediate vicinity.
