Discover Lomnice

Lomnice brings together several clearly distinct reasons to visit: historic buildings, Jewish cultural history, marked educational trails and a regional route centered around beer. You can therefore get to know the town both through its monuments and through its paths and local traditions. When searching for a hotel in Lomnice, you can plan your trip around this combination: culture-focused days lead to the synagogue, cemetery and heritage zone, while active excursions take you to the educational trails or along the Tišnovská Beer Route.

Cultural History in the Center of Lomnice

At the center of Lomnice's heritage zone is a square with a church, a town hall and a Baroque Marian column. The history of the chateau also goes further back, as it was preceded by a castle. The earliest known owner of the town of Lomnice was Oldřich z Lomnice, who was already mentioned in 1265. Today, the chateau is home to the vocational school SOU a SOŠ SČMSD s.r.o. It is open to the public during European Heritage Days. A visit to the chateau therefore clearly differs from a sightseeing visit that is possible at any time. The Lomnice synagogue was reopened for cultural purposes in 1997 after a thorough reconstruction. Today, it frequently hosts exhibitions and a variety of cultural events. Another important site is the Jewish cemetery of Lomnice. It is freely accessible and contains more than 1,000 gravestones from the 18th to the 20th century. The oldest surviving gravestone dates from 1716. The cemetery grounds also include a mortuary chapel with an exhibition on the history of the Jews of Lomnice. The synagogue and cemetery thus offer different ways of accessing local history: changing cultural events in one place, and a freely accessible historic site with preserved gravestones and an exhibition in the other.

Educational Trails for Different Excursion Ideas

The Járy Cimrman Educational Trail begins at the Nohy Járy Cimrmana sculpture at the bus stop on Lomnice's square. From there, it follows the yellow hiking trail markings to a forester's hut below Mount Sýkoř. At the final station, named Pohlaví Járy Cimrmana, there is an idealized depiction of Cimrman. Another option is the Obora Lomnice Educational Trail, which visitors and tourists can follow in the Lomnice game park. The higher-level Pražská cycling route also runs through this game park. Those who want to combine Lomnice with a hike or bike ride therefore have two differently oriented points of connection: the walkable educational trail in the game park and a higher-level cycling route that passes through the area.

The Tišnovská Beer Route

For a longer excursion, the Tišnovská Beer Route can be easily assessed using its specific details. The route is 11.5 km long, takes 3.5 hours and has an elevation difference of 237 m. The route ends at the Lomnice bus station; from there, it is possible to continue to Brno with a transfer in Tišnov. The highlight at the end of the Tišnovská Beer Route is Lomnice. This route therefore combines a set distance and duration with a destination where onward travel can be arranged. The Genius-Noci Brewery is also among the local experiences. It offers brewery tours for groups of ten or more by prior telephone arrangement. This makes the tour a separate, plannable activity rather than a sightseeing option that can generally be assumed to be available. When looking for suitable accommodation, you can first decide whether historic sites, an educational trail, the cycling route or the beer route should be the focus of your stay. For further orientation, Žďárec (Žďárec), Hluboké Dvory (Hluboké Dvory), Kaly (Kaly), Újezd U Rosic (Újezd U Rosic), Hrušovany U Brna (Hrušovany U Brna), Skalička (Skalička), Babice U Rosic (Babice U Rosic) and Želešice (Želešice) are also available.
