Discover Brekova Lhota

Brekova Lhota combines a history dating back to the Middle Ages with several clearly located landmarks. A chapel and a wayside cross stand in the village square; other chapels are located above the village and at house number 6. A small pond lies on the southwestern edge, associated with a botanical observation recorded on a specific date. Brekova Lhota therefore offers points of interest in both history and natural history.

Village History and Names Recorded in the Past

The first written mention of Brekova Lhota dates from 1352. According to a regional historical account, the village was established shortly before then. The first written mention and the presumed date of establishment should therefore be distinguished: 1352 marks the written reference, while the village is thought to have been established somewhat earlier. Historical forms of the name recorded in the past include Lhotta Brzekowa and Lhotta Břekowa. They add a linguistic dimension to the historical context and provide a second specific point of reference alongside the year.

Chapels and Wayside Cross

In the village square stand the chapel «Kaple na návsi v Břekově Lhotě» and the wayside cross «Kříž na návsi v Břekově Lhotě». Above Brekova Lhota stands the chapel «Kaplička nad Břekovou Lhotou». The chapel «Kaplička u domu č.p. 6 v Břekově Lhotě» is located at house number 6. The location details thus distinguish three chapels: in the village square, above the village, and at house number 6.

The locations offer different perspectives: the chapel and wayside cross stand together in the village square, while the other two chapels are distinguished by their location above the village or at house number 6. This comparison helps you picture the named landmarks in relation to one another. Those interested in local culture can use it to distinguish the different locations of the chapels and wayside cross.

The Pond and a Botanical Observation

A small pond lies on the southwestern edge of Brekova Lhota. Carex pseudocyperus was recorded there on 18 August 2004. This botanical observation connects a precisely identified location with a plant species and a specific date. For travellers interested in individual details of nature as well as historical landmarks, it offers a point of interest in its own right.

The pond and the note about the plant complement the village history by focusing on a different scale: here, the subject is a specific observation at one location on one day. A broader view of village history and a snapshot of nature thus sit side by side.

Where to Stay in Brekova Lhota

One specific holiday cottage is «Chata Břekova Lhota», located in the village square. It is listed as having three rooms and an area of approximately 60 m², and is rented out to a maximum of four people. The accommodation is therefore located in the same part of the village as the chapel and wayside cross in the square.

You can compare the number of rooms, approximate area and maximum occupancy separately with your own needs. Details about the holiday cottage may change. Before booking, check the latest information and availability with the provider.
