Discover Lukoviste

Particularly characteristic are Farmstead No. 12, the source of the Úslava and Cycle Route 2041. This allows you to shape your stay around culture, observing nature and an active day trip.

The Úslava Spring and the Hike to Drkolná

The source of the Úslava is located in the cadastral area of Lukoviště. Near Lukoviště, the spring lies in the immediate vicinity of a pond. Anyone wishing to explore this landscape feature on foot can follow the hike “To the Sources of the Úslava and the Summit of Drkolná.” It starts in Lukoviště and then continues north along a farm track. Including a few short detours, the route is approximately 6 to 7 kilometres long. The combination of the spring area, farm track and direction towards Drkolná gives the hike a clear landscape character that differs from the cultural and historical highlights in the village. The approximate length provides a clear basis when choosing between a hike and other activities during your stay.

Farmstead No. 12 and Local Cultural Monuments

Farmstead No. 12 is a cultural monument and also an example of 19th-century vernacular architecture. The ensemble includes a single-storey brick residential building with a Baroque-style gable and an adjoining agricultural section. Its individual features also make the site interesting for visitors who wish to learn not only about the landscape but also about the architectural history of small settlements. Anyone interested in rural building styles will find a specific cultural point of reference here alongside the landscape attractions.

Other memorial sites in Lukoviště include the monument to the fallen Russian partisan Nikolai Nemešev. It stands next to the chapel in Lukoviště and was unveiled in 1971. Another distinctive landmark is the Baštářův Cross. It stands at a crossroads near Lukoviště on the route from Mlázov towards Hradiště. Their locations beside the chapel and at the crossroads respectively give the two sites their own connection to the layout and routes of Lukoviště. This makes it possible to experience different forms of regional cultural heritage while exploring the village, without separating the themes of culture and landscape.

Cycling through Lukoviště

Cycle Route 2041 passes through Lukoviště and leaves the settlement along a farm track towards Čihaň. The route connects Kolinec, Mlázovy, Lukoviště and Čihaň, then continues towards Plánice and Nepomuk. For your planning, this offers a different perspective on the village than the hike to the Úslava spring: the focus here is not on a single landscape feature, but on connecting several places and directions.

When choosing accommodation in Lukoviště, you can therefore consider whether to focus on cultural monuments, the spring and the hike, or on exploring the area along Cycle Route 2041.
