Discover Lhotice

If you are looking for a hotel for your stay in Lhotice, your travel interests can be a starting point. The excursion train route, named routes, protected winter lime tree, and chapels offer different points of interest. For planning your route, it is worth checking the respective destinations; for nature and cultural interests, the lime tree and the architectural and religious monuments are specific points of reference.

Routes and trails around Lhotice

The excursion train route runs from Jemnice via Lhotice to Moravské Budějovice. Check the operating days before your trip. The “Památné stromy” route runs from Jemnice via Lhotice to Slavíkovice; check current signs or maps before setting out. The “Výlet k ‚Hlubočáku‘” excursion runs from Jemnice via Lhotice and the settlement of Tři Koroptve, then back to Jemnice; check local conditions before setting out. The destinations and return journey distinguish the routes: Moravské Budějovice is the destination of the excursion train route, Slavíkovice is the destination of the “Památné stromy” route, while “Výlet k ‚Hlubočáku‘” is described as returning to Jemnice. There are signposted pedestrian and tourist trails along the excursion train route that passes through Lhotice. Check their markings on site before setting off.

Nature and architectural history

East of the village, by a wayside cross, stands Lípa u Lhotic, a winter lime tree. It is 20 meters tall and has a trunk circumference of 385 centimeters; these measurements may change slightly over time. The two measurements describe different dimensions of the tree: its height and the circumference of its trunk. The lime tree was first declared protected on February 12, 1976. Its location, species, dimensions, and protection date shed light on different aspects of this natural feature: the tree can be located, identified botanically, and placed in the context of its protection history by a specific date.

Architectural monuments in Lhotice include the chapel on the village square. The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Lhotice is a Neo-Gothic building dating from 1925. Its style and year of construction provide a specific architectural point of interest if you are interested in historic building styles. There is another chapel and seven crosses in the area around Lhotice. This extends the religious points of interest beyond the village square. Those interested in architectural and commemorative heritage can therefore find both a specific monument in the village and points of reference in the surrounding area.

Historical context

Lhotice was first mentioned in writing in 1361; at that time, the community belonged to Otík ze Lhotic. The years 1361, 1925, and 1976 refer to different topics: the first written mention of the village, the Neo-Gothic construction of the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and the lime tree’s first protection declaration. This comparison distinguishes the history of the community, architecture, and nature conservation rather than combining them into a single historical event.
