Huslenky is located about 8km (05miles) southeast of Vsetín and 31km (19miles) east of Zlín. It borders Slovakia in the southeast. The municipality lies on the border between the Maple Mountains and Hostýn-Vsetín Mountains. The highest point is the Makyta mountain at 923m (3,028feet) above sea level, whose peak is on the Czech-Slovak border. The built-up area is situated in the valley of the Vsetínská Bečva River and its tributary, the Kychová Stream, which originates here. The whole territory of Huslenky lies in the Beskydy Protected Landscape Area.
The first written mention of Huslenky is from 1505, when the village was called Huslná. After the establishment of modern municipalities, it was an administrative part of Hovězí. In 1949, Huslenky became an independent municipality.[2]
Huslenky is located on the railway line Vsetín–Velké Karlovice.
The main landmark of Huslenky is the Evangelical church. It was built in 1873–1896. It replaced an older wooden church.[2] [3]
The area called Kychová, situated on the slopes above the Kychová stream, is protected as a village monument zone. It consists of well-preserved wooden buildings built in the local folk architecture.[4]
