Hlinsko

The landscape around Hlinsko is a rolling, forest-edged upland of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, which has shaped both the town’s compact form and local economy. The Chrudimka River rises near the town and flows through it, linking Hlinsko with the wider Chrudim basin. Its defining historic quarter is Betlém, where timbered cottages recall a nineteenth-century craftspeople’s settlement and form part of the Vysočina Open-Air Museum. Hlinsko also gives its name to the Hlinecko area, whose Shrovetide mask processions were added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.
