Lčovice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Lčovice is home to a protected cultural monument, the château. The town is divided into an upper part around the château and a lower part at the railway station in the Volyňka valley.

Culture

The grounds of Lčovice Château contain a Baroque garden chapel and a hunting pavilion. The hunting tower near the château bears the alliance coat of arms of Hýzrl of Chodů and Eleonora Alžběta of Donín above its entrance. Another historical connection is to the architect Josef Zítek, known as the builder of the National Theatre, who married Berta, the daughter of the château family there, at Lčovice Château in 1881.

Above Lčovice stands the Chapel of Saint Anthony of Padua, dating from 1714.

Nature

To the southeast of Lčovice rises Věnec, a 765 m-high hill. The Věnec hillfort complex near Lčovice was a functioning settlement of the Hallstatt and La Tène periods and was of regional significance.

The triangular Věnec hillfort is surrounded by approximately 1.5 km of ramparts; the entrance gate to the acropolis is still clearly visible today.

Trails

A blue-marked hiking trail to the Věnec hillfort begins at Lčovice railway station. The approximately 2.7 km route from the railway station to the hillfort initially follows a comfortable forest path and then a steeply ascending trail.

The approximately 18 km tourist route “Tourist Route through the Jiřina Jirásková Region and the Ancient Cave” also passes through Lčovice. From Čkyně, you can reach Lčovice railway station via an approximately 3.3 km field path along the Volyňka, or you can take the train.

Events

The recurring event “Journey along the Celtic Trail” follows a 27 km route from Kubova Huť and is accompanied by a Celtic celebration in Lčovice. Every year on 1 January, Lčovice organises a climb to the summit of Věnec.

The Celtic festival in Lčovice includes an authentic Celtic camp with demonstrations of historical crafts and weapons. The festival also features craft markets, creative workshops for children, horse rides and gold panning.
