Mýtka: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Mýtka was established in the High Middle Ages, when settlements were founded on clearings in communal forests.

History

The area of present-day Mýtka was once covered by a pine forest. Mýtka was formerly known as Mejtech (Megtek), a name derived from the original designation of the settlement, “mejtská”.

The manorial barn of Mýtka stood in the fields near Chrbolkových. It was used to collect grain from the fields belonging to the estate owners. In the 19th century, two settlers bought the manorial barn of Mýtka, sawed it in half from the top, and rolled each of the two parts to their own house.

During the war, a room hidden beneath the floor of a barn and covered with a hatch served as a hideout in Mýtka. This hideout provided shelter for Czechoslovak paratrooper and Lieutenant Vasil Kiš, the leader of the parachute mission of Operation Jan Kozina, as well as for the Russian refugee Anafasij Koropka. Due to its location, the residents of Mýtka were able to observe German military columns after 15 March 1939 as they completed the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia.
