Discover Vysoká Lhota

Vysoká Lhota lies on the border between the Vysočina Region and the South Bohemian Region. A circular village square with a chapel and greenery in the middle shapes the village’s appearance. Anyone interested in history and local architectural styles will find specific points of interest here rather than simply a list of attraction names.

Village history in two dates

The history of Vysoká Lhota probably dates back to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. The first written mention dates from around 1430. These details serve different purposes: the first is a cautious estimate of the period, while the second identifies the approximate date of an early written reference. Together, they provide context without establishing an exact founding year. For anyone interested in a place’s history, this distinction is revealing: its presumed history may go back further than its first written mention.

Village square, chapel and crosses

The chapel on the village square dates from around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries; the village chapel has a small bell tower. The square is traditionally circular, with greenery in the middle. This brings together three specific features at the heart of the village: the shape of the square, its green centre and the chapel’s architecture. If you choose Vysoká Lhota as a travel destination, you can start by orienting yourself around this central point. The chapel’s construction period and the much earlier dating of the village’s history represent different layers of time.

In front of the entrance to the village chapel, a metal cross set into a stone base stands among trees. Another detail can be found at a crossroads on the way to the locality of “Peklůvko”: a base from a former cross remains in the bushes. The difference is clear: in front of the chapel stands the metal cross itself, while at the crossroads, the surviving base points to a former cross. Both places add individual, clearly distinguishable details to the picture of the village’s history.

Getting around and finding accommodation

A regional bus timetable lists the “Vysoká Lhota, rozc. 1.0” stop between Zlátenka and Kámen; the service is shown as continuing to Pacov. If you plan to take the bus, check the current timetable and departure times before travelling.

A search for the area around the municipality states that it features vetted holiday homes, apartments and glamping accommodation offered directly by their owners. This makes it possible to search for these types of accommodation in the surrounding area, rather than limiting your search to the place name alone. Check the location details for each listing when choosing: individual offers and their availability may change. So check the specific accommodation before making your decision.
