Nové Hrabecí: Hotels and Accommodation

Nové Hraběcí combines historical traces with trails and viewpoints in the surroundings of Šluknov. The 25-kilometre-long Velký vyhlídkový okruh of the town of Šluknov lists the village as one of the route’s four main viewpoints.

Nature

The network of Šluknovské stezky around Šluknov, which also includes Nové Hraběcí, is intended primarily for hiking; most routes can also be ridden by mountain bike. The section between the Šluknov zastávka railway station and Nové Hraběcí is classified as moderately difficult.

In the immediate surroundings, the Židovský vrch viewpoint offers a direct view of the built-up area of Šluknov and its heritage zone. Židovský vrch, which extends as far as Šluknov, is named after the Jewish cemetery in Šluknov. The viewpoint can be reached via road III/2667 between Šluknov and Nové Hraběcí.

History

The historical German name of Nové Hraběcí was Neu Grafenwalde. The addition “Nové” distinguishes the settlement from Staré Hraběcí. After the Císařský estate was dissolved in 1730, the agricultural buildings in Nové Hraběcí were sold off in individual plots and converted into homes.

In 1736, many farmers moved from Křečany to Hraběcí because they were burdened by obligations related to the construction of the local church; as a result, the community grew rapidly.

Culture

The cadastral area of Nové Hraběcí is home to the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, built in 1867. Historical signs can also be found along the way: the Zeckelův kříž was erected by Josef Reintsch on the path connecting the Císařský railway station with Nové Hraběcí. The cross probably dates from the second half of the 19th century and stands on the ridge along a path on the green-marked route from the Šluknov zastávka railway station to Nové Hraběcí.

A memorial to the victims of the world wars stands on the road from Šluknov to Nové Hraběcí, as well as along the green-marked hiking route and cycle route 3043.
