To the southeast lies the Heilbrunn Primeval Forest ( Hojnovodský prales ). The Šejby – Harbach border crossing is reached via Dlouhá Stropnice, via which pedestrians, cyclists and cars can reach the Austrian area of Weitra .
history
The area around Brünnl was under the influence of the Austrian Kuenringer and the Cistercian monastery of Zwettl until the end of the 12th century . Around this time, the Bohemian Witigones from the interior of the country pushed south, which they settled and colonized. After the death of the last Rosenberger, Peter Wok, in 1611, the area came under the rule of the Schwanbergs , who lost it after the battle of the White Mountain . Subsequently, Emperor Ferdinand II gave it to his general Carl Graf Bucquoy .
After healing springs had been known in Heilbrunn ( Hojná Voda ) to the south since the middle of the 16th century, another healing spring was discovered between Heilbrunn and Rauhenschlag ( Chlupatá Ves ) on the northern slope of Kuhberg. After the Thirty Years War , a Marterl was set up at this point in 1648 . Since 1698 the healing spring has been revered as miraculous and called "Brünnl". The veneration went back to an apparition of the brothers Hans and Matthias from Schlagles ( Paseky ), who saw a crowd of pilgrims on Epiphany in 1698 going to the Marterl. After in the night of 4./5. October 1701 the farmer's son Matthias Egidi from Friedrichschlag ( Bedřichov ) dreamed that workers showed him a model of a church and asked him to build such a church on the site of Marterl, then a chapel was built that soon could not contain the many pilgrims. Therefore, Albert Karl von Buquoy began in 1708 with the construction of today's pilgrimage church "Maria Trost", which could be consecrated in 1715. As early as 1708 Heilbrunn and Brünnl were raised to an independent parish. It was under the patronage of Count Buquoy, with the clergy from Hohenfurt Monastery . In 1717 Brno was first mentioned as a town to which Karl Kajetan Buquoy granted the privilege of a free market and a coat of arms. It shows an overgrown hill with a spring on a blue background and a silver shield with a golden bell.
In 1718 Karl Kajetan Buquoy built a small castle west of the church, which was later given to the community for use and in 1752 became the property of the community. After the rectory was completed, the pastors lived in Brno from 1719 and the first school was opened in 1747. In 1759 the number of pilgrims was 46,000. When the pilgrimage church was to be closed during the Josephine reforms , Brünnl was raised to its own parish in 1787, which also included Rauhenschlag and Schlagles. A year earlier, a cemetery was laid out not far from the church. The common parish deficits of Heilbrunn and Brünnl were only dissolved in 1855.
Another economic development followed after the Buquoy counts built a bath with water applications in Brno. It existed until the First World War and was bought by the pool attendant at the time, who built the “Herrenhaus” inn in the building. For the year 1888, 470 inhabitants are recorded in Brno who lived in 101 houses. In 1892 Brünnl consisted of 550 inhabitants; the two-class school was attended by 166 children.
After the Second World War , the German population was expelled in 1945/46 . When the communists took power in 1948, the area was declared a restricted political area because of its proximity to the border with Austria. In 1949 Dobrá Voda only had 22 inhabitants. On April 8, 1949, a fire that broke out on the east side of the church in the “Herrenhaus” inn destroyed twelve houses. In the following years, most of the houses and the former buquoy residence were destroyed by the rulers at the time and the healing spring was filled in. Although Hohenfurth Abbey was liquidated in April 1950, the Cistercians in Dobrá Voda were able to hold out until 1952. The church was saved from the planned destruction. During the time of the Prague Spring , the pilgrimage revived for a short time. After the political change in 1989, maintenance measures were carried out on the existing buildings; In addition, a tourist infrastructure was built. The pastoral care of the Dobrá Voda parish was taken over by Austrian monks, u. a. from the Servite Order.
In 1991 the place had 81 inhabitants. In 2001 the village consisted of 11 houses in which 59 people lived.
