Nobody knew about his Horcruxes (even Slughorn wasn’t 100% sure). But still, there was a small probability that someone could discover his secret. So, he hid his Horcruxes very well. But, there was always a way to get to those Horcruxes.
Why didn’t he hide his Horcruxes in a place which was out reach of anyone? Some examples: His own stomach, Center of Sun/Earth/Black Hole etc. He could also had simply made Voyager-1 a Horcrux..
Probably the simplest explanation:
If they were impossible to reach, he couldn't put them there in the first place.
As it is, most of the Horcruxes were actually very well-hidden in a great variety of places. It was unlikely for them to be run across by accident, and less likely that anyone would know of more than one unless they'd gone digging into Voldemort's past - something that was probably very likely to get you killed, given how he's tried to distance himself from certain aspects of his past.

Harry himself asked this question, and Dumbledore explained that it was Voldemort's titanic ego and flair for the dramatic that made him chose well-known items or locations.
The book implies that a person who was mentally all-together would have made that choice, but Voldemort, by the very fact that he'd make Horcruxes in the first place, wasn't all there, literally or figuratively.
I mean, digging a mile-deep hole in a random place in the ground, dropping the Horcrux in, and then filling the hole would be much more secure. Not nearly as dramatic, though, and certainly harder to regenerate from.

Erm...They WERE almost-impossible to reach places!

The way I always interpreted it, it was because the horcruxes had to be accessible for him to be resurrected (such as how Tom Riddle attempts to come back through a ritual involving the diary in the Chamber of Secrets).
