Mladkov: Petrovičky
Petrovičky is best known within the Pardubice Region for its small ski area on the slopes above Mladkov. This scattered settlement lies in the foothills of the Orlické Mountains, close to the Polish border, where grassland meets bands of conifer and mixed woodland. Open hillsides and modest local roads give the area a distinctly rural scale, far removed from the larger resort towns of the Czech mountains. The ski facilities form part of the local recreation economy, while the surrounding land remains principally agricultural and forested. Petrovičky belongs administratively to Mladkov, linking it with the wider region. The surrounding borderland is crossed by walking and cycling routes that connect ridges, valleys and small settlements.

Built around the valley of the Tichá Orlice, Mladkov developed into a small municipality beneath the southeastern reaches of the Orlické Mountains. The river corridor gives the settlement a linear form, while wooded slopes and open fields lead towards the Czech–Polish borderlands. Mladkov sits on the railway route through the valley towards Lichkov, a practical connection reflecting the area’s long role as a transit landscape. The Church of St John the Baptist forms a historic focal point in the village. Trails and quiet local roads suit explorations of the less urban side of the Pardubice Region.

Pardubický kraj has been an eastern Bohemian heartland of the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. The Labe crosses its western lowlands around Pardubice before the terrain rises toward the Orlické Mountains and the Žďárské vrchy. Pardubice developed around its Renaissance castle and is associated with the Pardubice Steeplechase, a race first held in 1874. To the south-east, Litomyšl is known for its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Kladruby nad Labem preserves the stud landscape linked to the Kladruber horse.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
