History and Architectural Heritage
Like Dolní Štěpanice, Mrklov was settled along the water and was predominantly an agriculturally oriented village. Tourism and winter sports led to a fundamental change in Mrklov’s population structure.
Some valuable elements of the traditional architecture of the Krkonoše Mountains have been preserved in Mrklov. These include log cabins embedded into the slopes, with low dormer windows that made it easier to bring in hay.
Flax has been cultivated in the foothills since time immemorial. Under the rule of Maria Theresa, domestic linen production expanded.
