Luleč: Natural Swimming Pool, Trails and Cultural Monuments

If you are looking for a hotel in Luleč, you can plan your stay around the natural swimming pool, trails, churches, and archaeological history. These topics differ considerably: the natural swimming pool has a specific history, trail descriptions name their own sections and destinations, and the churches and archaeological site offer different historical points of reference.

Natural Swimming Pool and Trail Routes

The “U Libuše” natural swimming pool was created in a flooded quarry that was redeveloped in the 1930s; its total area is 6,400 m². “Luleč, obecní úřad” is the designated public transport stop for the natural swimming pool. Check the timetable separately for your specific journey.

The “Naučná stezka Luleč” nature trail runs through the cadastral area of Luleč and is divided into two sections; it has a total of 22 information boards. The eastern section passes through the Kopaniny holiday-home area and the grounds of the “kostel sv. Martina” church. The boards form part of the nature trail as a whole, while Kopaniny and the church grounds specifically mark the eastern route.

A green-marked hiking route runs north of Luleč from Vyškov via Drnovice and Ježkovice to Ruprechtov and onward into the Moravian Karst. Check the current trail markings before setting out. The “Křížová cesta Luleč” Stations of the Cross leads above the municipality of Luleč to the “kostel sv. Martina” church. Its stations consist of thirteen niche chapels and a Holy Sepulchre. The route descriptions have different focuses: for the green-marked route, the sequence of places and continuation into the Moravian Karst are key; for the Stations of the Cross, the destination at the church and the form of the stations are key.

Churches and Archaeological History

The “kostel sv. Martina” church is a protected cultural monument. The present-day Baroque building was erected in 1751–1753 on the site of an older Gothic church. The “kostel sv. Isidora” church is also a protected cultural monument. It is a Baroque filial church, created in 1739–1741 by extending and rebuilding an older chapel. Their building histories therefore differ in terms of their predecessors: at St. Martin, a Baroque building followed a Gothic church, while at St. Isidora, an older chapel was extended and rebuilt.

The “Svatý Martin, Starý zámek” site is designated an important archaeological locality. It includes a hilltop settlement, a fortification, a burial site, a castle, and an unspecified complex. The site includes a 55-hectare prehistoric hillfort with sections of a double fortification; three parallel ramparts survive on its southern side. At the castle on the site, a very well-preserved ring wall and moat, as well as isolated remains of stone walls, survive. The site described therefore includes both various types of archaeological structures and specific surviving fortification remains.
