Cenkovice: Čenkovice - Pardubický, Czech Republic
Few places in the foothills of the Orlické Mountains have a history as closely tied to mountain farming and forestry as Čenkovice. The village was first documented in 1304, when settlement in this borderland depended on clearing woodland and working steep, high-lying fields. Above it, Buková hora rises in the Orlické Mountains, a wooded range along the Czech-Polish border. Its slopes form part of SkiResort Buková hora, linking the Čenkovice and Červená Voda ski areas. Čenkovice remains a small mountain community where forest, pasture and winter-sports infrastructure meet rather than a resort built apart from its landscape. Narrow local roads, scattered homes and long bands of forest shape this eastern Bohemian highland setting.

The municipality occupies a wooded valley where scattered homes and meadows give way quickly to forested slopes. Čenkovice is closely linked with the Buková hora ski area, a long-established centre for downhill skiing and winter recreation; when the snow has gone, roads and paths lead into the surrounding uplands. Its compact scale and mountain setting make it a quiet contrast to Czechia’s larger resorts. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Pardubický kraj.

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.
