Discover Lhota U Olešnice

Nature between Forest and Rock

Lhota u Olešnice is located in the Svratecká hornatina Nature Park, in a hilly, forested landscape. Among the area's notable natural sites is the “Lhotské jalovce a stěny” natural monument. It comprises a diverse mosaic of natural and near-natural communities, extensive rock formations, and remarkable, regionally rare communities. Those who want to experience the natural area not only as a forest landscape but also through its rocks will find both defining elements combined in this natural monument.

The landscape also includes the Hastrmánka forest spring and the Tresenský potok stream. The water of the forest spring is traditionally believed in the surrounding area to have healing properties. This traditional attribution is not a medical claim about its effects. At Tresenský potok, the water is reddish because of the high iron content in this area. The two waterside sites thus represent different natural features: at the spring, a traditional belief forms part of the local character, while at the stream, the iron-related coloring of the water is what stands out.

Chapel, Linden Trees and Pilgrimage

The village's dominant landmark is the Nejsvětější Trojice Chapel, built in the Neoclassical style in 1887. The building therefore dates from the late 19th century. Protected, centuries-old linden trees stand beside the chapel. A pilgrimage takes place at the Nejsvětější Trojice Chapel on the occasion of the Nejsvětější Trojice celebration. The chapel site thus brings together a historic building, old protected trees and a religious occasion. At the chapel in Lhota u Olešnice, Neoclassical architecture, protected linden trees and the pilgrimage for the Nejsvětější Trojice celebration come together.
