Hulice is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 300 inhabitants.
The village of Rýzmburk is an administrative part of Hulice.
The name is derived from the personal name Hula.[2]
Hulice is located about east of Benešov and 55km (34miles) southeast of Prague. It lies in the Vlašim Uplands. The highest point is at 434m (1,424feet) above sea level. The municipality is situated on the shores of the Švihov Reservoir, built on the Želivka River.
The first written mention of Hulice is from 1295. Until the Hussite Wars, the village belonged to the Štěpánov estate, owned by Prague archbishopric. After the wars, Hulice was acquired for a while by the Trčka of Lípa family. After that, the owners often changed and among them were various less important nobles. In the 17th century, Hulice became a part of the Křivsoudov estate. In the 18th century, the village was annexed to the Soutice estate.[2]
The D1 motorway from Prague to Brno passes through the municipality.
There are no protected cultural monuments in the municipality.[3]
In Hulice is the Vodní dům ("water house"), a visitor centre of the Švihov Reservoir with an exposition on water treatment and with game elements for both children and adults. The visitor centre organizes guided tours of the dam.[4]
