Lhota: Lake, Forest and Trails

Lhota combines Lake Lhota with extensive forests and a flat setting on the edge of a vast forest. Lake Lhota was created in 1983 after sand extraction ended, when a sand pit was flooded. Its water surface covers 25 hectares. This unusually created lake thus shapes the character of the village and provides a distinct focus when choosing your accommodation in Lhota.

Lake Lhota and the landscape around the village

A road from Lhota leads to the car park near the northern shore of Lake Lhota. This specific connection helps with orientation around the lake, without implying any further statements about facilities or access to the water. Those who want to give greater weight to the landscape character when planning their trip will also find a setting in Lhota that is distinctly shaped by the forest: forests cover 72.4% of the municipality's area. The natural and recreational area of Lhota includes forests used for recreation.

The geographical foundation of the village is also clearly described. Lhota lies on gravelly-sandy ground; the municipality is situated on a plain at the edge of a vast forest. For your decision between a stay focused on the lake, the forest or exploring the village, this creates a clearly distinguishable landscape character. Lhota is a flat municipality with connections to both forest and water.

Cycling and hiking directly through Lhota

Cycling Route 0039 runs through the centre of Lhota. A red-marked hiking trail also runs through the centre. These two marked routes make the village centre a specific reference point for different forms of travel, without implying any particular distance or level of difficulty. Lhota's flat terrain is suitable for walking and cycling tourism. When planning a trip, active routes, forest, plain and Lake Lhota can all be considered shared points of reference for the village.

For families with different interests, the combination of a clearly defined landscape and different types of routes may be particularly appealing: the cycling route and hiking trail run through the same centre, while the forest, plain and Lake Lhota each create a different spatial accent.

Historical traces in the villagescape

In addition to natural and route-related features, Lhota also has several individual historical points of interest. Lhota's bell tower was built during the First World War. The memorial to those who fell in the First World War in Lhota was erected in 1926. Both dates place the structures in the history of the 20th century and complement the landscape themes with a local historical dimension.

The gate with a wicket gate in Lhota dates from the first half of the 19th century. It is a symmetrically designed masonry gate with rich decorative detailing. The protected object is the gate of the farmstead on the associated plot of land. This precise classification is particularly interesting for visitors who want to pay attention not only to prominent individual buildings in the villagescape, but also to craftsmanship and the context of a historic farmstead.
