Hynčice: Hotels and accommodations

Hynčice is located in the western part of the Broumov Spur on the Stěnava, along the railway line and the road from Meziměstí to Broumov.

Landscape and geology

At the eastern edge of Hynčice lies the Hynčický Quarry, a former quarry for building and crushed stone, about 200 metres northeast of the railway bridge over the Stěnava. Its quarry walls are more than 20 metres high and form a continuous exposure of ignimbrites across their entire height. This is where visitors can learn about the area's distinctive volcanic rock.

The Permská stěna is a rock exposure more than 200 metres long and up to 20 metres high on the right bank of the Stěnava in Hynčice. It exposes volcaniclastic rocks as well as reddish-brown fine-grained sediments of the upper Olivětín Beds. The best access is via the bridge over the Stěnava in the centre of Hynčice; the Permská stěna is considered a geotourism site.

Trails and Stations of the Cross

Walking trails around Hynčice lead through deep forests and can extend to the ridges of the Javoří Mountains. The short 19th-century Stations of the Cross route between Hynčice and Ruprechtice has been restored. It begins at a stone cross in Hynčice and leads beneath a railway viaduct, through a small deciduous grove and along a meadow on an old path to the church in Ruprechtice.
