history

Settlement on the upper reaches of the Wild Eagle on the border between Bohemia and the County of Glatz began in the second half of the 16th century.

The first settlement was Kronstadt ( Kunštát ) from 1572 . In 1576 the scattered settlement of Schwarzwasser ( Černá Voda ) followed. Kerndorf ( Jadrná ) was first mentioned in writing in 1603, its colony Grünborn ( Zelenka ) in 1613. The Friedrichswald ( Bedřichovka ) settlement developed around the glassworks founded in Kerndorf in 1614 and initially referred to as the "Kronstadt glassworks" . The higher ground Trtschkadorf ( Trčkov ) was first mentioned in 1654.

After the Second World War, the German residents of the localities of the current municipality of Orlické Záhoří were expelled. Due to the remote border location, most of the houses remained uninhabited, leaving many houses and the villages of Trčkov and Zelenka to decay.

After the amalgamation of the villages, the new municipality was named Orlické Záhoří in 1960 . On August 16, 2005, the Orlické Záhoří - Mostowice border crossing was opened, which is approved for vehicles up to 3.5 t.
