Orlické Záhoří is made up of one administrative part.
The name may be approximately translated as "Orlické Transmountain Area".
Orlické Záhoří is located about 45 kilometres (28 mi) east of Hradec Králové. It lies in the Orlické Mountains. The municipality consists of several settlements scattered in the Divoká Orlice valley. It lies along the border with Poland, which matches the flow of the Divoká Orlice river in this area.
The settlement of the area is connected with the work of glassmakers and lumberjacks in the Orlické Mountains from 1590–1600. Orlické Záhoří was established in 1951 by merger of settlements Bedřichovka, Černá Voda, Jadrná, Kunštát, Trčkov and Zelenka.[2]
The municipality has the road and pedestrian border crossing Orlické Záhoří / Mostowice and the pedestrian border crossing Bedřichovka / Lasówka to Poland.
