Welcome on the official website of Heřmanice village
Using number of inhabitants to compare the cities and villages, then Heřmanice, having not more than 250 residents, is one of the smallest villages in the Frýdlant region. Currently Heřmanice is a quiet village by the borders with Poland, but it has not always been this way. The calm and quiet atmosphere is not even disturbed by slowly running buses connecting Heřmanice with the neighbouring villages Dětřichov, Kunratice and, most important, a small town Frýdlant.
The houses in the village are located mostly along the road from Dětřichov to Poland, but the boarder there has no official crossing point. The road from Dětřichov more or less follows the wavy creek Oleška, the spring of which is under the hill Špičák (723 m above sea level) in Jizerské Mountains. The creek Oleška crosses Dětřichov, passes Heřmanice to Poland. From administrative point of view to Heřmanice belongs another settlement called Kristiánov, which is located behind the forest on the west side of Lipový Hill approx. 2 km southeast from Heřmanice. To reach Kristiánov one has to follow the blue marked tourist footpath and cycle trail No. 3039.
There are no modern panel or concrete residential houses in Heřmanice. The most interesting and predominant buildings are half – timbered houses and wooden-framed houses. These are meticulously cured for by their owners and therefore it is very pleasant to have a look at them.
The village is surrounded by many rocks of basalt of volcanic origin, organ-like crystallinic structure. Most famous is the Kodeš´s Rock, which qualifies as a Natural Sight. In the close neighbourhood of the village is a basalt quarry.
