This village, located below the mountains in the Vsetínská Bečva valley, was founded in 1654 by Count György Illesházy and named after his daughter Helena. The inhabitants of the village earned living through agricultural production and crafts, the range of which was expanded in 1868 to include the manufacturing of bentwood furniture of the Thonet brand. In 1788 the Church of the Elevation of the Holy Rood was completed in the village. In the Dinotice valley you can see a tiny wooden belfry and a small manor house. The surrounding landscape is suitable for horse-riding, skiing and cycling trips.
