Set in the Tichá Orlice valley in the foothills of the Orlické Mountains, Ústí nad Orlicí is a town whose character is shaped by its river corridor and surrounding wooded uplands. The town stands where the Tichá Orlice meets Knapovecký Brook, in eastern Bohemia near the Moravian border. Its development is closely tied to textile manufacturing, which expanded here during the 19th century and left a lasting industrial imprint. Mírové náměstí forms the historic centre, while the 1930s Roškot Theatre, designed by architect Kamil Roškot, is a notable modernist landmark. Rail links have also long made the town an important stop on routes across Czechia. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of the Pardubice Region.
