Modlíkov: Winter Lime, Cycle Route 4122 and War Memorial

Modlíkov can be discovered through three distinct points of interest: a protected winter lime, Cycle Route 4122 and a war memorial in the village square. Together, they give your trip planning concrete reference points—from nature and activity to a glimpse of local history. Before looking for a holiday apartment, you can consider which aspect of the village is most likely to interest you during your stay.

Nature: the protected winter lime

The protected winter lime Lípa v Modlíkově (Tilia cordata Mill.) is one of Modlíkov’s locally significant sights. The scientific species name supplements the name winter lime with a precise botanical classification and makes the nature-related feature specific. If you are interested in nature and local features, you can consider the lime tree, alongside the cycle route and memorial, as one of the themes of your stay. In your trip planning, it offers a different focus from the activity-oriented cycle route and the commemorative inscription: here, the protected tree species itself takes centre stage. When looking for a holiday apartment, you can already consider whether nature-related features should be among the focuses of your time in Modlíkov.

Cycle Route 4122 and a described view

Cycle Route 4122 passes through Modlíkov and connects, among other places, Přibyslav and Havlíčkova Borová. This gives cyclists a specific route number and two more named points of reference. If you would like to combine your stay with a bike ride, you can include these places in your plans and consider the route a travel theme in its own right. The themes are clearly distinct for your planning: the cycle route focuses on activity, while the lime tree and memorial are tied to specific features of the village. Check the current conditions on the cycle route before setting out.

A walk described in 2023 offers a different perspective. It led from the “Modlíkovský potok” signpost, across the road, to the commemorative lime tree in Modlíkov. Near the former one-room school, the group turned left onto a small road; from there, they saw, among other places, Rosička, Strážky and Lipnice. The sequence of the signpost, turn and viewpoints gives the description a specific route. If these views are what interest you, you can use the account as a starting point for researching a route of your own. Check the current route and access conditions before setting out.

The war memorial in the village square

The Modlíkov war memorial is located in the village square by the municipal office. Beneath the dates 1914–1918, it bears the names František Antoš, Josef Antoš, Adolf Halík, Josef Halík, Karel Pospíšil, Stanislav Pospíšil, Karel Kliment, Jan Vacek and Vojtěch Vlček. Its location makes the memorial a clearly identified point of reference; the inscription links the stated period with nine specific names. If you are interested in local history, this memorial offers a distinct point of interest alongside nature and activity. You can thus add a look at the names commemorated in the village square to your trip planning.

Which focus suits your trip?

When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first consider what kind of discovery matters to you: the protected lime tree as a nature feature, Cycle Route 4122 as a cycling option, or the war memorial and its inscription. If you want to spend most of your time cycling, you can use Route 4122 as a specific point of reference; if you would like to include nature and local history, the lime tree and memorial offer other themes to consider. Even if you are travelling with several people, you can decide together whether activity, nature or local history should play a greater part in your stay.
