"The Úhlava Mill" factory
By the road in direction of Špičák, one cannot omit the chimney shaft and the remains of an industrial building with the ruined roof, as well as still standing stone peripheral walls with brick accessories of the factory built in 1882-1884 by its founder Julius Otta Petzoldt. The saw shop of white timber had three sanders and two barking lines propelled by water turbine with the output of 150 kW. The race was almost 1,5 km long and was gradually complemented with the whole system of water canals. Upon construction of a boiler house with the chimney shaft in 1905, the operation was extended by chemical production of oxygen. Further production activities resulted in construction of the loading lift (1991-1992) connecting the factory with the Hamry - Hojsova Stráž railway station. Before the World War II, the factory belonged to the Weis company and was designated "Gustavstahl Wood-pulp, Card-board and Electrochemical Products Factory". In 1948 the plant fell under administration of the enterprise Západočeské papírny and adopted new name "The Úhlava Mill". Later on, in 1967, it was taken over by the enterprise Státní lesy that terminated its operation in 1975.
