Culture and historical heritage

The Church of St Stanislav is a Baroque building erected in 1725 to replace an earlier wooden church. It has been listed as a cultural monument since 1958, but is not open to the public. Its interior is decorated with stucco ornamentation and paintings depicting biblical scenes. The comparatively simple older building core contrasts with a stylistically uniform, colourful Neo-Baroque interior.

The Hynčina Immaculata statue stands beside a road on a wooded slope. The late Baroque statue retains traces of polychromy; its pedestal features a relief of Saint Valentine, while the year 1776 appears on the reverse. The Baroque Hynčina wayside shrine is approximately three metres high and made of sandstone. Its components include a cylindrical shaft with a Tuscan capital, a four-sided chapel with a pyramidal roof and an iron cross. It stands on the outskirts of Hynčina beside the road towards Křižanov and has survived more than 300 years with comparatively little damage. The chapel bears a relief of the crucified Christ, as well as carved depictions of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist on its sides.

A Trinity group originally made of stone was erected in 1900 on the initiative of the owners of the nearby mill, Rosalie and Johann Wolf. Today, only the pedestal remains; the group of figures is considered lost.

Trails and landscape

A green-marked hiking trail leads from Mohelnice via Hynčina to Hoštejn. A yellow-marked hiking trail connects the blue and green hiking trails and forms a short circular route within the Hynčina municipal area. In addition, cycling routes 521, 4063, 6234 and 6232 run along the outer edge of Hynčina's administrative territory.

The Ospirský potok valley forms the western boundary of the municipality of Hynčina. The stream rises in the Dlouhá Ves area and flows into the Moravská Sázava near Popelák.
