The village sign depicts a miner and a hoe, and has been unchanged since then. Mining eventually proved unsustainable due to the poor gold lode and high expenses incurred due to the rough terrain. Some of the gold miners went to Bocianska dolina.

In 1390 Hybe became the property of the Liptov district administrator and become villein small town of domination in Liptovský Hrádok. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, mining gave way to farming and crafts.
