Vlachova Lhota

Vlachova Lhota combines Wallachian history with a landscape setting on the southern edge of the Vizovické vrchy. Anyone looking for accommodation in this town will discover not an interchangeable holiday destination, but a place with distinctive examples of regional architectural culture, small memorial sites and several trails. This makes it possible to shape your stay around both culture and active pursuits, without the individual attractions merging into a single sight.

Wallachian Architectural Culture and Local History

One particularly concrete example is House No. 44. It represents 19th-century Wallachian folk architecture and is described as a single-storey log building on a stone foundation. These two details make the building not merely a historical designation, but also show what you can look out for during a walk: the traditional construction method and the house’s clear single-level design.

The town is also home to a Baroque statue of Saint John of Nepomuk dating from 1739. It adds a sacred monument with a clearly defined date to the picture of Vlachova Lhota. The Ploština Microregion Fire Brigade Museum is also located in municipal building No. 81. The permanent exhibition “Řídící učitel Janeček a jeho žáci” also represents the town’s history; it opened on 5 May 2012.

On the same day, 5 May 2012, a reconstructed monument to the victims of the Second World War was unveiled in Vlachova Lhota. Together with the exhibition, it provides another way of approaching the town’s history: you can view personal and community remembrance in two different forms, without the historical themes being limited to older buildings alone. Part of the original equipment has also been preserved in Podelhotský mlýn, pointing to another local facet.

Educational Trail, Cycle Path and Riding Route

For an active exploration, the marked local educational trail “KOLA, KOPYTA, BOTY” leads through Vlachova Lhota. The title itself points to various traditional and practical subject areas; above all, it is confirmed that this is a marked local educational trail. A cycle path also runs through the town. This means you can also view Vlachova Lhota as a stop on a cycling tour, without getting to know the town exclusively through its historic buildings.

The HYJÉ KONĚ Zlínského kraje riding route also passes through Vlachova Lhota. When planning a stay, this provides three different ways of getting around the townscape: the marked educational trail, the cycle path and the riding route. Route No. 4, “Po stopách pirátské řeky”, includes Vlachova Lhota as one of its stops.

For further destinations in the same broader travel area, you can also include Újezd und Valašských Klobouk, Štítná Nad Vláří-Popov, Tečovice, Velký Ořechov, Doubravy, Bělov, Haluzice and Kaňovice in your further search.
