Rýchory (, Rehorngebirge) is a mountain ridge in the eastern Giant Mountains in the Czech Republic. It is the easternmost tip of the Giant Mountains, forming a broad belt of forested ridges from Horní Lysečiny over the Mravenečník hill to the Sklenářovický vrch hill.
== Geography== Rýchory lies on the southeastern edge of the Giant Mountains. The main ridge is approximately 1.5 km long with the slopes included Rýchory are roughly 6 km long. They lie 10 km north of Trutnov. The ridge is oriented in northwest-southeast direction. The highest peak is Dvorský les (1033 m), which forms the south-eastern ending of the main ridge and it is the easternmost one-thousander in the Giant Mountains. The north-western ending is the peak Kutná (1001 m) with Rýchorská bouda mountain chalet. Between these two there are no other important peaks. A short side ridge branches to the south-west with a nameless peak of 1008 m. To the north, the pass Rýchorský kříž divides Rýchory from northward ridge towards the main part of the Giant Mountains.
