Landscape

The settlement lies at the foot of the Slatinské kopce ridge. Behind Horní Slatina, wet and peat meadows extend along the edge of a coniferous forest. These wet meadows form the source area of a watercourse that feeds the Horní rybník pond. Numerous notable plant and animal species occur in the wetland.

Near the Church of St. Giles, a memorial linden tree is mentioned in a chronicle from 1717. The Slatinská lípa is officially designated as a protected memorial tree. The mountains of Modrácký kopec, Kleniční, Špičák and U Obrázku are located in the vicinity of Horní Slatina.

Culture and History

The single-nave Church of St. Giles was originally a Romanesque building from the first half of the 13th century and was remodeled in the Baroque style before 1717. An extension was added in 1833.

The niche chapel of St. Anthony dates from the mid-19th century. It has an elongated, segmental-arched niche closed by a modern iron grille. The chapel is protected as a monument.

A cast-iron cross from the Bolíkov ironworks, dating from 1836, stands in the cemetery of Horní Slatina.
