Geography
Orlické Záhoří consists of several settlements in the Divoká Orlice valley between the Bystrzyckie Mountains and Orlické Mountains. Its name may be approximately translated as "Orlické Transmountain Area". It lies along the border with Poland (which matches the flow of the Divoká Orlice river in this area).
History
The settlement of the area is connected with the work of glassmakers and lumberjacks in the Orlické Mountains from 1590–1600. Orlické Záhoří was established in 1951 by merger of settlements Bedřichovka, Černá Voda, Jadrná, Kunštát, Trčkov and Zelenka.[2]
