Pilgrimage history and church art

The pilgrimage chapel of Mariánská Studánka stands on Rychnovský vrch. Its present form dates from 1931. A spring with drinking water is associated with the chapel; check its condition on site before planning to use it. The chapel’s pilgrimage function and the date place it in context in terms of both its religious significance and its present form.

Another point of reference is the present Baroque church of sv. Mikuláše, which dates from 1730. Its interior is richly decorated in the Rococo style. Baroque and Rococo refer here to different aspects of the building: its present form and the interior decoration. This makes it possible to place the church in context both chronologically and through its design.

Rychnovská fara was built in 1777 during Rychnov’s heyday as a pilgrimage destination. The impressive rectory is a multi-storey building with twelve rooms. The three dates refer to different things: 1730 to the present church, 1777 to the construction of the rectory, and 1931 to the present form of the chapel. This comparison places the local building histories in chronological context.

Rychnovský vrch: landscape and memorial site

The summit area of Rychnovský vrch is divided by a ridge. Between the ridges are wetland depressions with small ponds. This combination of ridges, damp hollows and small bodies of water creates a distinctive landscape. Rychnovský vrch is also a European site with code CZ0530149; its area is 353.3297 hectares.

Near Rychnovský vrch, the Lichtenštejn memorial stone stands beside a circular forest road. This adds a named memorial site with a specific connection to the forest road to the natural features described above.

Activities at the bike park

The “RyLes – Na paloučku” bike park is intended for challenging mountain bike descents and walks. The two options differ in the type of activity: one offers explicitly challenging descents, while the other offers walks. Admission to the park is free, and use is at your own risk. Check local information about the current trail conditions before setting off on a mountain bike descent.

Whether your focus is building history, landscape or activity, the themes described here offer different points of reference for planning your stay and looking for a hotel in Rychnov Na Moravě.
