A TADY MAME PUZZLE, TAK HURA NA TO!!!

Z vyhlidky na Vyrove se naskyta krasny pohled na Nove Mesto (viz. slozene puzzle), ktery je nazyvan cesky betlem. Nazev Vyrov je poplatny vyrum, kteri jako dravci byli pouzivani k lovu. Vyrov vznikl zrejme ve 14. stoleti. K tvrzi ci hradu Vyrovu (Vyrova,Vyrava) patrne patrili okolni vesnice Bradle (Bradla), Zdar, Blazkov s Jestrebim (Jestrabi). Nejspise to byl rytirsky statek. Je pisemne dolozeno, ze statek mel v drzeni v roce 1414 Hynek z Dube (pan v Nachode a Trebechovicich). Hradek byl v husitskych valkach tezce postizen a pani z Dube jej potom pouzivali jako veznici. Traduje se jeste jine vysvetleni jmena, ktere operuje s nazvem Virov. Byl to pry hradek nad metujskymi viry. Predtim nez hradek presel do majetku regionalnich panu, patril pry ve 14. stoleti kralovne a cisarovne Alzbete, matce Zikmundove, ktera ze sveho venneho mesta Hradce Kralove ovladala siroke okoli a v Novem Meste nad Metuji pry zalozila vinice. Dnes lze na Vyrove pozorovat uz jen valy, prikop a sklep. Zda se, ze tzv. hradni palac byl ve spodni casti z kamene a v horní ze dreva. Na strane k bradelske rovine se tahne ve skale vylamany az deset metru siroky prikop. Na jednom miste se prikop zuzuje asi na tretinu, zrejme v techto mistech byval padaci most. Hrad na teto strane chranila i mocna hradba, vyztuzena dvema bastami. Na opacne strane byl hrad chranen prikrym srazem. Muzeme si tez predstavit, ze slo o jakousi triangulacni hlidkovou tvrz, napojenou na jine, nebot z Vyrova, odmyslime-li si nynejsi stromovi, byl vyhled na vsechny strany. Vojenske poslani tvrze bylo zajistovano hospodarskym zazemim. O Vyrove psal v Husitském králi Alois Jirásek. U Vyrova stoji kaplicka, kterou dal postavit pansky hejtman Matej Gostl. Je to kaplicka „Ctrnacti svatych pomocniku“. Je nahore na konci cesticky z Klopotova k Vyrovu. Pred rozpadnutim kaplicku zachranila rozsahla oprava v roce 1938.

AND HERE IS THE JIGSAW

From the view point you can enjoy a wonderful view of Nove Mesto nad Metuji. Vyrov fort was founded probably in the 14th century. To the fortress belonged also nearby villages Bradle, Zdar, Blazkov and Jestrebi. In the 14th century the fort was owned by queen and empress Elisabeth - mother of Zikmund - who owned Hradec Kralove and surrounding area. In 1414 the fort was owned by Hynek z Dube. In Hussite wars the fort was damaged and after that was used as a prison. Today you can find at Vyrov only a bank, a ditch and a cellar. In the past the fort was shielded by a thick wall from one side and by steep slope from the other side. Vyrov is mentioned by famous writer Alois Jirasek in his novel Husitsky kral. There is a small chapel nearby, which was built by Matej Gostl. The chapel was restored in 1938.
