Zemská brána, or "Gate of the Earth," is a picturesque nature reserve in the Orlické Mountains, right on the Czech-Polish border. The Divoká Orlice River has carved a rocky gorge surrounded by forests, symbolized by a stone bridge from the early 20th century, renovated in 2004. A three-kilometer nature trail with 22 stops leads through the valley. It's easy and family-friendly, and even suitable for children. Along the way, you can see the wooden "Pašerácka lávka" (Paserácká lavka), associated with ancient smuggling, and Ledříčkova Skála (Ledříčkova Rock), with its cave and the legend of a mountain bandit.
