Activities in the vicinity

Winter

SKIING

The Orlice Mountains are a popular winter destination for skiers from both the Czech Republic and abroad. There are several ski resorts in the Zamberk area (Ricky, Cenkovice, Destne v Orlickych Horach). The Dlouhonovice ski centre, offering day and night skiing and 2 ski tows (of which one is for children) is just 3 kilometres from the cottage. The ski slopes are maintained daily by a snow truck and snow supplied by a snow cannon. Refreshments are provided by a covered buffet right next to the slope. The site offers free parking and unbeatably low prices. You will be given permanent ski passes and price reductions on skiing in Dlouhonovice along with your accommodation at the Bella Cottage.

SWIMMING

In Ceska Trebova and Usti nad Orlici there is an all-year-round swimming centre with a toboggan, bubble bath, steam sauna and children’s pool.

TENNIS

You need not neglect your tennis even in the winter, as you can have a game in the indoor hall right in Zamberk.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING

In addition to traditional winter sports and swimming, you can also engage in walking and hiking, while the countryside around Zamberk is absolutely ideal for cross-country skiing.

CYCLING AND HIKING

The Orlice Mountains and the surrounding area also offer numerous sports and leisure activities in the summer. The area surrounding the cottage is made for bike rides and hiking.

The entire Zamberk district is interwoven with a series of cycle paths and signposted hiking trails.
