Žďárky
Žďárky is a small, quiet village in the hills of north-east Bohemia, about 3.5 km south-east of Hronov. Fewer than 600 people live here, along the Brlenka stream. The Polish border runs along the east and south edge of the village.
There is little to see in the village itself. It suits travelers who want a calm rural base for walking and cycling. Several marked cycle routes cross the village. From here you can easily visit the spa town of Kudowa-Zdrój in Poland, the theatre town of Hronov, and the castle town of Náchod.

Late spring to early autumn is the best time for walking and cycling. Summers are warm but rarely hot, and rain is common in May and June. Winters are cold, with regular frost and some snow.
The biggest event nearby is the Jiráskův Hronov amateur theatre festival in Hronov. It runs for about nine days from late July to early August, with many free performances in the town. Book accommodation early if you plan to visit then.
