The Radechovka is a right tributary of the Metuje in the Czech Republic .

course

The Radechovka rises north of Horní Radechová in the Náchodská vrchovina. The villages Horní Radechová, Bor, Dolní Rybníky, Zápačí, Chmeliště and Dolní Radechová extend along the south-facing stream . Below Dolní Radechová, the Radechovka is dammed in the Podborný pond. The open stream ends in this pond.

Thereafter, the stream cased throughout its underflow reached the pool Jiráskovo koupaliště the Náchod urban area; there it flows underground through the Ikárie settlement and the Plhov district, then east of the castle hill and the city center through Náchod. After 8.9 km the Radechovka flows into the Metuje in Náchod below the brewery weir.

Silnice I / 14 runs through the Radechovka valley between Náchod and Horní Radechová.

history

The lower valley of the Radechovka was often hit by floods. The two fish ponds at the foot of the Náchod Castle Hill, the Podborný and Velký rybník and the Malý rybník below, were therefore also used to regulate the water level in the stream. However, their earth embankments did not withstand the floods. In 1560 the dam of the Podborný broke, and later there were several damslides. During the great floods of 1920 and 1946, the Plhov market and the connecting railway to Mautner's factory were flooded. As a result, the stream was regulated and the Malý rybník located directly above the village of Plhov was filled. After the construction of a prefabricated housing estate began in 1978 instead of the village of Plhov, the Radechovka was covered with concrete panels.
