Lipůvka – Discover the Church, Traditions and Trails

Lipůvka combines a historic village area with religious life, regional traditions and trails through the surrounding landscape. The character of the village is particularly vivid on its western, historic side: this is where St Cecilia’s Church, the adjoining park and the cemetery are located. Those who want to combine culture and outdoor activities during their stay will find various options here for planning their day.

St Cecilia’s Church and the Historic Side of the Village

Today’s St Cecilia’s Church was built in 1749 and completed the following year. It is not only a historic building but also a place that continues to be used: regular services, adoration and prayers take place in the church. Its connection with the park and cemetery makes the western side of the village a clearly identifiable area where history and present-day community life directly meet.

The “Lipůvecká” Educational Trail with Hančina studánka

For longer walks, the “Lipůvecká” educational trail is a good option. It runs through the cadastral areas of Hořice, Dolní Lhota and Lipůvka in the Blansko District and corresponds to approximately three hours of leisurely walking. This allows you to plan the outing differently from a short walk around the village: the trail passes through several cadastral areas and makes the landscape itself part of the visit.

The “Hančina studánka” spring is located along the route. There, you can refresh yourself with spring water from the forests of Brno. This specific destination gives the educational trail an additional point of orientation and provides a natural break during the longer hike. Those who choose their accommodation according to their desired daily activities can therefore weigh up a culture-focused stay around the historic side of the village against an outing on the “Lipůvecká” educational trail.

Krojované hody and the Church Feast Day

Krojované hody show a special connection between tradition and the church. During the event, the stárci, accompanied by a brass band, parade through Lipůvka and invite neighbors to an evening dance event in the municipal office hall. The Sunday program also includes a Hodová Mass in St Cecilia’s Church. Krojované hody are linked to the church feast day on November 22. Those interested in local forms of celebration will therefore find not just a single building here, but an interplay of a procession, music, a dance event and Mass.

Walking and Cycling Routes around Lipůvka

The shared walking and cycling path from Lipůvka to Nuzířov begins at the cemetery on the western edge of Lipůvka. It initially runs west, then northwest, parallel to Road II/379. It ends at the cadastral boundary between Lipůvka and Nuzířov on a farm road. For cyclists, the Lipůvka–Lažany cycle path is also part of the documented infrastructure; it opened on August 14, 2010. The project for a cycle path between Kuřim and Lipůvka is listed as completed. The planned cycle path was intended to connect to the existing cycle network.
