history
When the settlement of Mezní Louka began has not yet been precisely dated. The surrounding extensive forests were originally managed by the manorial forester's house in Stimmersdorf (today Mezná). At the end of the 18th century a Hegerhaus with a mansard roof was built , which bears the year 1794 above the door frame, as well as a stately building in which a financial guard was housed and in which a simple inn was set up in 1838. With two buildings and ten residents, the place was considered a single shift until the end of the 19th century . Increasing tourism prompted Prince Edmund von Clary-Aldringen to build a luxury hotel in 1892, which made Rainwiese a much-visited climatic health resort. However, an attempt to use a mineral spring failed. Until 1945 there were four buildings and 25 residents here. The road to Vysoká Lípa was not built until 1859–1867.
Today Mezní Louka is an important tourist center in Bohemian Switzerland with a hotel, restaurant and campsite. Several hiking trails intersect here.
Origin of name
The place name Rainwiese comes from the time when there was a meadow here in the middle of extensive forests, through which the forest border of the Stimmersdorfer Revier ran. In 1781/82 a forester's house with the name "Rainwiese" is mentioned for the first time.
