The extinct village on the slope of Huťská (Zhůřská) mountain was founded sometime around 1720 by the former Kašperské Hory branch of the Golden Path. There used to be small glass-works in the 16th throughout to the 17th centuries and the first written record about the place dates back from 1772 in connection with the town of Kašperské Hory. After the glass-works terminated their operation, timber was harvested in the surrounding forests and peat was dug from the bogs.

Huťská mountain (1187 m) has a distinct rounded ridge with a smaller transmitter tower right next to the mountain peak, offering beautiful views into various directions. On the northern slope of the mountain there is a stone monument with a memorial plaque commemorating an air accident that took place on Christmas Eve in 1937, when an Air France aeroplane with three passengers on board crushed here on its flight from Vienna to Prague.
