Hýsly: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

An unusual local feature characterizes Hýsly: the center is home to a unique miniature of the solar system. Hýsly lies in the valley of the Moštěnka beneath the southwestern foothills of the Chřiby; the miniature includes the world’s smallest sundials.

Location

The Stromová kaple offers a magnificent view of the peaks of the Chřiby. The castle park is also home to a common ash designated as a memorial tree.

Local Details

The sundials in Hýsly are 14 × 20 meters in size and designed to display astronomical time in the municipality of Hýsly. The miniature includes the world’s smallest sundials, measuring 9 × 9 mm.

Culture

Saint Procopius is the patron saint of Hýsly. The Chapel of St. Procopius was built in 1936. A column with a statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dates from 1706 and commemorates a major flood. Zámek Hýsly presents a different picture: the castle is closed for the long term and is not in use.

Traditions

The traditional Hodky festival takes place in Hýsly at the beginning of July. In September, the Svatováclavské krojované hody festival is celebrated. Above Hýsly lies a wine cellar lane that is a destination for locals and visitors.

Activities

There is a workout playground in the village square of Hýsly. Admission to the Rozhledna Súsedská is free for everyone. Access to it is to be provided via existing and newly created hiking and cycling trails.
