A holiday in Lachovice

A route through Lachovice

The Vyšší Brod–Rožmberk–Rybník hiking route passes via Kraví hora and Lachovice. This makes the village a point along a longer route, not necessarily the starting or finishing point of every hike. Plan the distance, return journey and weather using up-to-date maps. On a detour to Lachovice, you can see several wooden statues created during a woodcarving symposium. They add a local cultural touch to the route.

Several stations of the Lachovice Stations of the Cross are located on the way to the bison enclosure. One station by the enclosure has a seat. Bison can be observed at the breeding facility operated by Agrowald. The animals are part of a breeding operation; they are not guaranteed to be visible or accessible at all times. Observe the facility's boundaries and instructions, and do not plan on a direct encounter with the animals.

Earlier history

Lachovice is mentioned in a Czech urbar (land register) from 1278 as a place that paid a reduced in-kind levy to Vyšší Brod Monastery. This is a rare, specific historical reference for the small village. It describes a medieval tax arrangement, not a sight that can be seen today. Those exploring the landscape on foot can use this background as an additional perspective on the village's former relationship with the monastery.

When choosing accommodation, the distances you need to travel are important: the village is part of a longer route, while accommodation and services may also be available in Vyšší Brod. Check the exact address and the terms actually published before booking.
