Culture and History

The Baroque Church of St. Peter and Paul is a landmark of Malá Úpa and was built in 1788–1789. From Pomezní Boudy, it can be reached via yellow- or red-marked hiking trails and is a destination for many pilgrims.

The Maloúpský jarmark takes place in the vicinity of the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Malá Úpa. It is a traditional event celebrating old Giant Mountains traditions. The Závod rohaček – Memoriál Josefa Tylše is another traditional event held in the U Kostela area.

The Disidentská stezka has six named stops; U kostela is one of them. The trail commemorates four decades of meetings between Czech and Polish dissidents in the Giant Mountains (1978–2018).
