Discover Štěpanická Lhota

For a stay in Štěpanická Lhota, trails, dining, and a possible day of winter sports in Benecko can be considered separately. One section of the Lufťákova Trail passes through the village; the circular route runs from the center of Benecko through Štěpanická Lhota and back via the Kejnos cable car. The slopes and facilities are part of the Benecko ski area, while two restaurant addresses are located directly in Štěpanická Lhota.

Location and directions

Jímání Cave lies on the edge of Štěpanická Lhota, on the slope below the road between Štěpanice and Benecko. Its location is therefore defined by a specific edge of the village and a named stretch of road.

Lufťákova Trail: section and circular route

The original section of the Lufťákova Trail follows a paved path and is accessible with a stroller. Surface conditions may vary seasonally; take this into account when planning and check conditions on site. The circular route is a separate option: it runs from the center of Benecko through Štěpanická Lhota and back to the center of Benecko via the Kejnos cable car. For a plan involving a stroller, the original section is relevant; for the circular tour, consider the entire route through the named places and via the cable car. You should also check the route conditions on site.

Winter activities in the Benecko ski area

The Benecko ski area offers gentle slopes and a slalom slope for skiers with varying levels of experience. Slope grooming and availability are seasonal. The area also includes a snow park, Hopstráda, and three children's ski parks: Havrland, Family aréna, and Kejnos. Kid park Kejnos has a 60-meter-long magic carpet lift to help beginners learn to ski. The playful ski runs in Family aréna include jumps, bumps, slaloms, and other practice features.

Other winter activities add to the options: the ski area offers three snow tubing lanes and, in winter, an opportunity to go sledding. Availability may depend on the weather and operating conditions. This gives you several distinct options for planning your day: slopes and slalom, practice features in the children's areas, as well as snow tubing and sledding. Check the current availability of seasonal activities before your visit.

Restaurants and travel

The Star Hotels restaurant is located at Štěpanická Lhota 46. It serves Czech and international cuisine, as well as children's and vegetarian dishes. Check the restaurant details before your trip.
