Králův mlýn, Religious hermitage in Maxičky, Czech Republic

The stone ruins of Králův mlýn stand at 353 meters elevation, surrounded by dense forest and mountain trails in northern Bohemia.

The site originated in 1577 as a sawmill before evolving into a hermitage, experiencing destruction during the Thirty Years' War in 1632.

The location served multiple purposes through centuries, from a spiritual retreat to housing French prisoners during World War II.

Visitors can reach the hermitage through a 1.5-kilometer gorge path from Háj, following markers along the former trade route.

Local scouts restored parts of the water channel in the 1990s, installing a functional model of the original water wheel.
