Wolves in the Czech Orlické Mountains

In the Orlické Mountains, 13 to 18 wolves are roaming in two packs across the Czech-Polish border, the Czech Nature Conservation Agency (AOPK) confirmed on Tuesday. The latest monitoring took place on February 1–2.

Wolves have been present in the Orlické Mountains since 2018, when the first signs of their activity were recorded. Camera traps later confirmed their presence. In 2020, wolves bred for the first time in the northern Polish part of the Mountains, and since 2024 a second pack has been spotted near the southern border.

In Czechia, stable wolf populations are also present in Broumovsko and the Krkonoše Mountains.
