The city was founded in the 13th century and is the gate to the OrlickΘ (Eagle) mountains. A Renaissance castle was built in 1553. There is also a 16th Century Renaissance church and St Ann┤s Chapel. Arcaded wooden houses, a Baroque church built between 1679 and 1684, an Empire fountain and a Maria Column decorate the square of Rokytnice which has a population of 2000. This town is ideal as a tourist centre because of the clean environment and unspoilt landscape which is full of marked tourist paths. The Jirßsek path on the ridge of the OrlickΘ mountains is a most attractive route, it follows the border fortification line as an historic memorial to the years 1935 - 1938. Sportsgrounds, tennis courts, natural swimming pools, horse-riding, mountain-biking and tourist trips to the sporting and cultural centres of the region are availablein summer time, and high quality terrains for skiing and crosscounty skiing winter.
