history

The course of the Svratka ( Schwarzawa ) formed the historical border between Bohemia and Moravia . In 1717 the owner of the Richenburg estate , Wenzel Albert Graf Kinsky, had a stately iron hammer built in the U Cikánky corridor on the Bohemian side of the river. According to popular tradition, a gypsy woman died and was buried here a long time ago . Around the hammer mill, which included a smelter, an ore roasting plant, a cabbage house and a tavern on the Moravian border, a settlement for the hammer and smelter people was built. Around 1720, a few chalets were built opposite the inn on the Moravian side - the entire settlement was called Cikanka or Zikanka . More metalworkers settled on the Karlstein. In 1801, Philipp Joseph Graf Kinsky had the Cikanka hammer mill shut down; Ignatz Fischer leased the building in 1804 and had it converted into a paper mill.

In 1835 the south of the consisted Chrudim circle Dominikaldorf located Cykanka of 21 houses, where 116 people lived. There was a paper mill in the village, a mill with a board saw and an inn on the border bridge over the Schwarzawa. The Catholic parish was Swratka , the Helvetians were parish in Swratauch . Until the middle of the 19th century, Cykanka was always subject to the allodial rule of Richenburg.

After the abolition of patrimonial formed Cikánka / Cykanka 1850 a district of the municipality Swratauch in the judicial district Hlinsko . From 1868 the village belonged to the Chrudim district . After the paper mill was destroyed by fire in 1896, the Viennese file maker Rudolf Schmied bought the building in 1897 and set up a file cutting shop in it. After the First World War, the company continued to operate as the Vambera file factory. In 1921 the municipality was given the new name České Cikánka . After the end of the Second World War, the Tohos company began producing ice hockey sticks in the former file factory. 1950 České Cikánka was umgemeindet to Svratka and assigned to the Okres Hlinsko. Since 1960 the village belongs to the Okres Žďár nad Sázavou . Hotel Svratka was established in the 1980s. The sewage treatment plant of the town of Svratka was built in the forest east of the village in 2005-2006.

Today Česká Cikánka is a resort. On the Karlštejn slope, above the Svratka hotel, there is a ski slope with a lift and snow-making equipment. The Svratka 1932 Golf Club has a 9-hole course near the hotel .
