Líšná: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The ruins of Řebřík Castle lie 2 km northwest of Líšná and can be reached via the green-marked trail. Líšná lies on an elevated plateau at about 525 m above sea level. Fields surround the village, with extensive forests stretching beyond them.

History

The castle was built at the beginning of the 14th century and had already begun to fall into disrepair by the end of the 15th century. It probably finally disappeared, together with the nearby village of the same name, at the beginning of the 16th century. Its inner castle was dominated by a three-part palace; it also included two outer baileys, separated from the inner castle by deep moats. The surviving remains of the economic complex include a farmyard, a quarry, a pond, and a connecting route identifiable in the form of sunken lanes. Today, the only evidence of the vanished village below the castle is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, dating from around the mid-14th century.

Culture

The Stations of the Cross by Adriana Skálová are located by the Church of Saints Peter and Paul at Řebřík; occasional classical music concerts are held at this church. The Church of Saint Peter in the Řebřík locality also contains gravestones from the original church of the vanished village of Řebřík.

Routes

The Church of Saint Wenceslas on the village square in Líšná dates from 1869. The “From Castle to Castle” route passes this church building; it is considered moderately difficult and takes up to 610 minutes. The sister of the young painter Mikuláš Aleš stayed at the Na Chrastech forester’s lodge.
