Rtyně v Podkrkonoší

Rtyně v Podkrkonoší (German: Hertin) is a town in Trutnov District in the Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic.

It lies on the border between the Giant Mountains Foothills and Broumov Highlands.

[2] The first written mention of Rtyně is from 1367 when it used to be one of the biggest agricultural communities in the region.

The way of living changed a lot in the 16th century when coal mining in this region started, although the agriculture did not lose its importance.

[8] The most valuable building and symbol of the town is a wooden bell tower from 1592.
