The story
The first written mention of Modrava is from 1614. From 1757, Modrava developed as a fishing and hunting settlement. Filipova Huť was founded in 1785 as a glass workers settlement and named after Count Philip Kinsky, but the glass factory did not prosper and the village became a lumber settlement. The area of Modrava and Filipova Huť was owned by the Kinsky family until 1799, when they sold it to the Schwarzenberg family.
