[tied] re Czech r^

There are dialects of Gaelic where 'r' may be realised by placing the
tip of the tongue at the back (or the edge) of the teeth, and where
the sound is not unlike 'z' or 'th' (depending on the speaker and/or
the dialect). But I am not clear how Czech 'r^' is articulated.
Could someone oblige with a brief description?

Best wishes,


Gordon
