Pastviny: Hotels and accommodations
Pastviny is located in the Mladkovská vrchovina, the lowest part of the Orlické Mountains. The landscape includes the memorial lime trees known as Vejdovy lípy, which stand by the U Vejdů farmstead. One of these Vejdovy lípy is estimated to be 850 years old.
Landscape and trails
The Green Route begins at the Pastviny Tourist Information Centre and runs entirely along paved roads through a recreational area with increased motor-vehicle traffic. Where it runs parallel to a hiking trail, pedestrians have priority. The Green Route through the Zemská brána area and its surroundings is a moderately difficult cycling route.
History
The first historical mention of Pastviny, formerly Pastwinie, dates from 1514. The statue of Saint John of Nepomuk in Pastviny was erected on 26 May 1818 at the expense of Jan Hovad. The bell tower at the lower end of Pastviny was probably built between 1780 and 1790 and completely reconstructed in 2010.
Buildings and structures
The Pastviny Dam is the last stone-built dam in the Czech Republic. The Kraví skok iron bridge in Pastviny was built over the Divoká Orlice in 1905 and moved to its present location above Bublačka Bay before the valley was flooded. The reinforced-concrete viaduct in Pastviny is a Class I bridge with two arch openings, each with a clear span of 50 metres.
Practical information
The Pastviny Tourist Information Centre provides advice on tourism, accommodations, dining and timetables. It also sells souvenirs, postcards and small refreshments.
