Zábeštní Lhota – Traditions, Chapel and Hiking Trail

Discover Zábeštní Lhota

Zábeštní Lhota combines local customs with sacred architectural history, a freely accessible community orchard and a hiking connection from Přerov. The focus is on different ways to experience the place: you can explore regional customs, examine historical details at the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary or make the village the destination of a route passing through several stops. The sandstone cross at the entrance to Penčice is another point of cultural and historical interest. This combination allows you to focus your stay more on history and customs or on a route ending in Zábeštní Lhota.

Local traditions

Local traditions include Vodění medvěda. In addition, the local volunteer fire brigade in Zábeštní Lhota organizes a Hodová zábava. If you would like to experience your stay through regional festival and folk customs as well as buildings and routes, you can include these two topics separately in your planning. The local traditions therefore form a distinct area of experience alongside the chapel and hiking trail.

A chapel with several historical layers

The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary represents a building history spanning several periods. In 1842, a new building replaced an earlier chapel. Since 1901, it has had a tower clock and a bell. The building was reconstructed between 2008 and 2012. The chapel thus brings together construction, furnishings and later renewal in a historical sequence. For visitors interested in sacred architecture, it offers a single site with several historical layers.

A distinctive landmark in Penčice

A sandstone cross approximately 5.5 metres high stands at the entrance to Penčice. Its location at the village entrance, its material and its approximate height characterize this structure. For travellers interested in stone cultural monuments, it is an independent point of interest alongside the chapel’s historical themes.

Hiking trail from Přerov

The blue hiking trail leads from Přerov via the Žebračka floodplain forest, Vinary and Vinařský les to Zábeštní Lhota. This sequence connects the starting point with several landscape and village sections before ending at the destination. For your planning, you can view the trail as a continuous route from Přerov to Zábeštní Lhota. The individual stops help divide the route mentally and organize the transition between the starting point, intermediate destinations and final destination.

Community orchard

The community orchard in Zábeštní Lhota is freely accessible to the public. It complements the chapel, customs and route with an open-air space that is freely accessible. Those who are not looking exclusively for historical attractions during a trip can consider this garden as a separate part of their exploration. Its free accessibility makes it possible to plan it independently of the cultural themes as another place to visit in the village.
