Louka u Litvínova: Chapel, mining memorials and cycling routes

Louka u Litvínova offers several points to consider when planning a trip: a 19th-century chapel, sites commemorating mining, and cycling and hiking routes of various lengths. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in the municipality, you can make your choice based on whether cultural history, remembrance or outdoor activities matter most to you. When planning, consider both the activity and the specific location and route details.

The chapel and local places of remembrance

The Chapel of St. Anthony of Padua was built in 1834 and has been protected as a cultural monument since 2007. The two dates mark different milestones: the chapel’s construction and its later protected status. Another local point of interest is the birthplace of Ivan Hlinka, which is marked with a commemorative plaque. A replica of Kost Castle is another local feature; it is cared for by private individuals.

These places represent different aspects of remembrance and local history: a chapel with designated monument status, a plaque at a birthplace and a castle replica. You can include these themes separately in your trip planning rather than treating them as a single visit itinerary.

Mining memorials and routes

People attending commemorations and tourists regularly gather at the memorial to the victims of the Pluto II mine disaster. The Memoriál Pluto is a commemorative walk from the monument to fallen miners in Litvínov to the monument in Louka u Litvínova. The walk connects two monuments; the memorial to the victims of the Pluto II disaster is also a place where people regularly gather.

A cycling loop to the mining monuments reaches the memorial to the victims of the Pluto II mine disaster at kilometre 30.5, next to the municipal office. This identifies a specific waypoint on the cycling loop. The Memoriál Pluto, by contrast, is a commemorative walk between the two monuments. If you are considering both, this distinction will help you identify the right route for each.

Compare cycling and hiking distances

The C25 Chemnitz–Most–Doksy cycling route also passes through the administrative area of Louka u Litvínova. The event listing for the 2026 Memoriál Pluto gives hiking distances of 5 to 22 kilometres and cycling distances of 20 to 60 kilometres. These figures allow you to compare activities and route lengths: the shortest listed cycling route is two kilometres shorter than the longest hiking route; cycling routes go up to 60 kilometres. Plan according to the specific option you are considering.

Include the railway and sports field in your plans

Railway line No. 135, Most–Moldava v Krušných Horách, passes through the administrative area of Louka u Litvínova and has a stop there. If you are planning a train journey, check the timetable for your travel date. This lets you include the stop in your travel plans without confusing it with the cycling or hiking routes described above.

The multi-purpose sports field is available to the general public of all ages for active recreation, especially ball sports. Use is by arrangement with the grounds management. If you want to include the field in your plans, arrange its use with the management in advance. This distinguishes the site from the monuments and routes described above: using the sports field requires prior arrangement.
