History & geography

History

The first written mention of Hronov is from 1359. It was founded during the colonisation of this territory between 1241 and 1285. In 1415, Hronov is referred to as a market town. Until 1848, it was part of the Náchod estate. In 1859, it was promoted to a town. In 1949, the neighbouring municipalities of Velké Poříčí, Zbečník, Velký Dřevíč, Rokytník and Žabokrky were merged with Hronov. In 1960, Malá Čermná joined Hronov. In 1990, Velké Poříčí became again a separate municipality.

Geography

Hronov is located about north of Náchod and northeast of Hradec Králové. The Malá Čermná exclave lies on the border with Poland. Most of the municipal territory lies in the Broumov Highlands, but the southern part with the town proper lies in the Orlické Foothills. The highest point is the Turov hill at above sea level. Hronov is situated on the Metuje River. The Hronovka and Regnerka mineral springs are in Hronov.
