Staré Hutě: Holiday Apartment Amid Chřiby Nature and Glassmaking History

Staré Hutě lies in a deep valley of the Chřiby Mountains, where individual houses line both banks of the Kyjovka River. The landscape around Staré Hutě includes preserved Carpathian beech forests that provide a habitat for numerous rare plant and animal species. The forests around Staré Hutě are also well known among mushroom pickers from the wider surrounding area.

Nature

In the immediate surroundings of Staré Hutě, about two kilometres northeast, lies the abundant Hladná voda spring near a hunting lodge of the same name. The Buchlovský kámen rock formation is also located in the cadastral area of Staré Hutě, about 1.5 kilometres east along the yellow-marked trail. It forms a partly forested flat ridge with an isolated 12-metre-high sandstone rock. In the same nearby area, about one kilometre east, lies the historic Zikmundův dvůr, also called Zikmundov or Dvorek, which is associated with the opportunity for horseback riding.

History and Culture

The history of Staré Hutě is connected with the establishment of local glassworks at the beginning of the 18th century: the village originated during this period. A protected old small-leaved lime tree stands on the former glassworks site as a memorial tree. Staré Hutě is also home to a chapel of the Virgin Mary dating from the second half of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, Staré Hutě was known for the production of mother-of-pearl goods.
