Lišice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Lišice combines the biography of the Czech Cubist Vincenc Beneš with traces of a settlement history stretching far back in time and with routes around Vyšehrad. The painter Vincenc Beneš, a representative of Czech Cubism, was born in Lišice on 22 January 1883.

Culture

To mark the 110th anniversary of Vincenc Beneš’s birth, a commemorative plaque was installed on the former Lišice school building. It was designed by the academic sculptor Jan Holinka from Pardubice. The Pálení čarodějnic festival was also celebrated in Lišice for three consecutive years: 2024, 2025 and 2026.

History

Archaeological investigations near Vyšehrad began in 1956. They uncovered the extensive ground plan of an oppidum, as well as wrought-iron tools, animal bones, everyday pottery and charred beams. The former settlement of Tečmín, located near Lišice, is documented for the period from 1299 to 1454.

Tečmín included three ponds and a fortified manor. In 1571, Tečmín was mentioned only as pastureland and as a hillfort with ramparts and a ditch. Near Vyšehrad there is also an extensive hillfort complex dating from the Late Bronze Age and the Early Iron Age, dated approximately to the 7th century BC.

Landscape and Routes

Liščí kopec is 267 metres high and lies on the route from Chlumec nad Cidlinou to Lišice, approximately 400 metres before the entrance to Lišice. From Lišice towards Lišičky, access leads via a paved road and then along the first paved turn-off to Vyšehrad; a former forester’s lodge stands there alone.

At Rybník Hejlovec, which the route reaches from Vyšehrad, a previously mentioned burial site is presumably located nearby. The longer route in the Lišice area is approximately 20 kilometres long.

Farma Lišice

Farma Lišice is located on the outskirts of the municipality of Lišice, near the town of Chlumec nad Cidlinou, and is primarily focused on sport fishing. The fenced grounds, covering just under four hectares, contain a former sand-pit pond measuring 1.25 hectares and stocked with trophy fish.
