Hlubyně – Pond, Village Ensemble and Cycling Routes

Hlubyně is in the Příbram District in the Central Bohemian Region, about 2 km west of Březnice. The village extends through a flat valley around a pond covering 43 ares. The first written records date back to the 14th century. At the centre are a wayside cross, a small bell tower and a memorial to those who fell in the First World War. The Pohostinství Hlubyně restaurant is on the village square.

The pond lies in the middle of the semicircular village. Most of the built-up area forms a valuable urban ensemble. The newer northern residential area along the road from Březnice is not part of it.

The ensemble includes well-preserved farmsteads and a pond; for the most part, no later adverse changes have taken place. The landscape of the flat valley thus combines with a village centre whose continuity of built form is an essential part of its character.

The first written records of Hlubyně date back to the 14th century. At the centre are the wayside cross and small bell tower, as well as the memorial to those who fell in the First World War. These different features provide historical and communal points of reference in the village centre: the religious wayside marker, the small bell tower and the memorial to the fallen.

Other wayside crosses stand along the roads between Hlubyně and Bubovice, and between Hlubyně and Březnice. In each case, they are located between the villages. This distinguishes the features in the centre from the wayside crosses along the routes connecting the settlements.
