Boršov: Hotels and Accommodation

The stone quarrying tradition in Boršov dates back to the first half of the 19th century. The extraction and processing of stone changed the character of the previously entirely agricultural village and became the livelihood of many local families.

František Pech put it back into operation after the First World War.
