    Hůrka (German: Hurkenthal) is a defunct glassmaking village in the Bohemian Forest with a surprisingly interesting history. The former Hůrka is located about 7 km east of Železná Ruda. It was founded in 1732 in the Hafenbrändl glassworks.

    In 1766, a new glass factory was founded near the original smelting works. The site of the old works was called Stará Hůrka (Althurkenthal) and the new settlement of glassworkers Nová Hůrka.

      One of the church of Hurkenthal. Behind the chapel. Everyone at the chapel can ring the reconciliation bell.
