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 has been, with some variations, proudly standing here for more than 230 years. With the gradual settlement of the hillside below 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 has never been easy. In our book The Story of Erlebachova bouda, you can read more about the stories accompanying the history of Erlebachova bouda.

Our family started to write the modern history of this tiny 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.
