Hrušková: Hotels and Accommodation

The Nothaft family founded Hrušková sometime in the second half of the 13th century. The place was first mentioned in writing in 1290 under the name Nothaftsgruen. A document from 1253 already mentions the existing Church of Saint Nicholas.

The site of the Church of Saint Nicholas was probably originally a fortified structure that protected a section of the salt road in the deep forests. A stone reconciliation cross stands in the municipal forest on the former road to Loket, approximately 1.5 km northeast of Hrušková. The reconciliation cross near Hrušková was re-erected at its place of discovery on 6 September 2003.

Krudum reaches an elevation of 838 metres above sea level. A 10-metre-high observation tower stands on the mountain; it was opened on 11 September 1932.

A yellow-marked hiking trail leads through Hrušková to the Krudum observation tower and the remains of the Church of Saint Nicholas.

The memorial to the victims of the First World War in Hrušková was erected in 1938 and commemorates five village residents who fell in the war. It is freely accessible. Opposite the memorial grows the protected lime tree “Lípa u pomníčku v Hruškové”.

The Military Oath Memorial near Hrušková was erected in 1947 on the former Prameny military training area. It commemorates local members of the pre-war units of the State Protection Guard who lost their lives protecting the border shortly before the annexation of the Sudetenland by Germany.
