Peč: Landscape, History and Routes

Peč offers practical points of reference for trip planning, including transport, landscape, history and cycling. If you are looking for a hotel in Peč, you can weigh up these topics according to what matters most for your trip.

Getting There and Landscape

Buses stop right in the village; the railway station is 2 km away in the direction of Cizkrajov. If you are travelling by train, take the distance between the station and Peč into account when planning. Check the latest service information for your connection before setting out.

South of Peč, Urbanečský vrch rises to 570 m. It is one of the prominent elevations in the southern part of the Dačice Basin. The specific elevation and its place in the basin describe two scales of the same landscape. If your choice of destination also depends on the surrounding area, this named hill is a geographic reference point south of the village.

History in Peč

Peč was first mentioned in writing in 1305. After 1417, the village was divided into two parts, each assigned to the parishes of Lipolec and Cizkrajov. From the mid-16th century, Peč belonged to the hospital in Slavonice. This timeline runs from the early written mention, through the division and its parish affiliations, to a later institutional connection. It offers a way to place the historical circumstances in distinct periods.

Cycling through Peč

The 46 km cycling tour “To Landštejn Romanesque Castle via Forgotten Maříž” passes through Peč. This makes the village part of a specifically named cycling route. If cycling is part of your trip, the route through Peč and its length provide two concrete points of reference for assessing the tour.

Lidéřovice: Landscape, Church and Routes

Lidéřovice lies in the valley of the Lidéřovický potok. The stream is a right-bank tributary of the Moravská Dyje; the village is also situated in the Dačice Basin. Its location can therefore be understood both in terms of the immediate valley and the wider landscape.

The Church of St. Linhart was built at the beginning of the 14th century and remodeled in the Late Gothic style in the mid-15th century. Next to the church, an ossuary is built into the perimeter wall. It is an originally Gothic stone chapel dating from the 14th century. The building history thus offers different points of reference: a church that was later remodeled in the Late Gothic style, and a chapel integrated into the wall whose origins date to the 14th century.

A red-marked hiking trail passes through Lidéřovice; cycle route No. 1242 also runs through the village. The routes can be distinguished by their markings: the hiking trail by its red marking and the cycle route by its number. If you are deciding between hiking and cycling, you can use this information in your planning.
