Lhotka u Litultovic – Chapel, Springs and Hiking Trails

Lhotka u Litultovic lies on the edge of the Moravice Nature Park and outside the park. Historic chapels, springs and marked trails connect the village with wooded terrain. The main points of interest are spread across Lhotka u Litultovic, the Hory district and the Jordán stream valley to the west. Hory represents the early history of the village, while the Jordán Valley represents the western spring; the chapels and the public water source are located in the village.

Chapels and Early Local History

The Chapel of the Holy Trinity with its bell tower is at the heart of the local cultural history. It dates from 1751 and was rebuilt after a fire in 1852. The two dates represent two phases of the same building: its construction and its reconstruction after the fire. There were 101 years between its construction and reconstruction. The building’s history thus extends from the 18th century into the period after the fire in the 19th century. The chapel is also listed as an immovable cultural monument.

The Hory district also offers a historical point of interest. It was first mentioned in 1325. The history of this district therefore dates back significantly earlier than the construction of the Chapel of the Holy Trinity. Another cultural point of reference in Lhotka u Litultovic is the Chapel of Our Lady of Hostýn, which is listed as a local monument.

Water Springs in and Around Lhotka u Litultovic

A spring is located west of Lhotka u Litultovic in the valley of the Jordán stream. There is also a public source of carbonated water in the village, supplied by an old borehole with a hand pump. The hand pump belongs to the spring in the village, not to the spring in the Jordán Valley. The two water sources are situated in different surroundings: one belongs to the Jordán Valley west of the village, while the other is located in Lhotka u Litultovic. Thus, the local description of the area’s water resources ranges from a spring in the valley to a public spring within the village.

Hiking on Marked Trails

For walks and hikes, a yellow-marked KČT hiking route passes through the Hory district and wooded terrain. In addition, a green-marked hiking trail runs through Lhotka u Litultovic. The two marked trails differ in their routes: the yellow route includes Hory and woodland, while the green trail passes through the village.

There is also a tourist route for pedestrians and cyclists in Lhotka u Litultovic, running along publicly accessible paths. In addition to the color-marked hiking trails, it follows publicly accessible paths and is intended for both pedestrians and cyclists.
