Husinec

Husinec lies on the Blanice in the foothills of the Bohemian Forest. Recorded in 1291 and raised to town status in 1359, it depended on trade along the Golden Trail, which carried salt and other goods across the mountains. The reformer Jan Hus was born here. After the Battle of White Mountain, many of his followers left Husinec for exile. The estate passed to the Schwarzenberg family in 1655.
