History

The history of the Resort Sv. František (San Francesco resort) was written very gradually. The oldest building is Erlebachova bouda (Erlebach’s Chalet), which is standing there with some remakes, but same name for 230 years. With the gradual settlement, hillside below the mountain Malý Šišák, more chalets were added and one of them was much later Josefova bouda (Joseph’s Chalet).

Life in the mountains is beautiful, but it was never easy. If you are curious about more of history of Erlebach’s hut you can read it in our book Příběh Erlebachovy boudy (Story of Erlebach’s hut).

Our family started to write the modern history of this little piece of land under Malý Šišák after 1998. First just with Josefova bouda and later also with Erlebachova bouda. As this piece of land also needed a heart, in 2007 we let built a Chapel of sv. František (St. Francesco), which is literally a stone's throw from Erlebachova Bouda. It gradually gave the name to the whole resort.
