Prameny

Wonderful view towards Kralický Sněžník and the hut of Paprsek.

Picturesque place

Once a flowering settlement once stood here, today the remains of the settlement of Štolnava or also Prameny form only a few alone on a ridge stretching between the Desná and Morava valleys. Nevertheless, this place belongs to the remarkable localities, where only a few tourists get lost. The history of the settlement Stollenhau probably begins in the seventies of the 16th century. At that time, the village belonged to the Velkolosin estate. In 1577 we have the first record of the existence of the village in the local land registers. It was then inhabited by 21 inhabitants, headed by the mayor. As the name suggests, Štolnava was built around a mine, probably of iron ore, which worked here at that time until the middle of the 19th century, when it disappeared and today we can no longer find any traces of it. The resettlement of a remote settlement never succeeded, so in 1965 the army joined and razed the dilapidated abandoned houses to the ground. Today we find only a few traces of human presence in this place. In addition to the two houses used for recreation, there is a torso of the Passion of God near them, a repaired cross at the former main street leading to the village and also a chapel, which was part of one of the largest farms in the village. Recently, the restoration of perhaps the most striking monument to the former glory and today's decline of the settlement, which after 1949 became known as the Sources, was successfully restored. It is the basis of the former church of St. John and Paul. The church, probably wooden, was built here by Jan Jetřich of Žerotín in the years 1610 - 1611. Although the village was added to Kopřivná, the church was an integral part of its social life. The church also took over in the 1960s. Recently, enthusiasts repaired its foundations, erected a cross on the site of the chancel, and after many years the word of God was heard again.
