Discover Zábeštní Lhota

You can plan a visit to Zábeštní Lhota with different interests in mind: the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary offers a glimpse into several historical periods, while the sandstone cross at the entrance to Penčice provides a single point of reference. There are also local traditions, a blue hiking trail to Zábeštní Lhota, and a community orchard open to the public. Before your trip, you can decide whether local history, an event date, or time outdoors should shape your stay.

The Chapel and Local History

The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary was rebuilt in 1842, replacing an earlier chapel. A tower clock and a bell have been in place since 1901; the chapel was reconstructed between 2008 and 2012. This sequence makes the building a point of reference for local cultural history spanning several periods, rather than a subject limited to a single date. You can see the rebuilding as a turning point from its predecessor and consider the later changes as further chapters. For a stay focused on local history, this offers a way to explore developments across different periods.

A sandstone cross about 5.5 metres high stands at the entrance to Penčice. For the cross, the focus is on its material, approximate size, and location; the chapel, by contrast, offers a history that can be followed over time. This gives you a clear distinction when choosing what interests you: a single object tied to a specific place, or a building with several historical milestones. If you prefer to explore local history through tangible features rather than a sequence of events, the cross offers a different approach.

Local Traditions and Events

Vodění medvěda is one of the local traditions of Zábeštní Lhota. In addition, the local volunteer fire brigade holds a Hodová zábava. The tradition and the event appeal to different travel interests: one is a local custom, the other a specific celebration with a named organiser. If the Hodová zábava is the reason for your trip, check the event date in advance. This will let you plan your stay around the occasion.

Hiking Trail and Community Orchard

The blue hiking trail leads from Přerov via the Žebračka floodplain forest, Vinary, and Vinařský les to Zábeštní Lhota. The sequence makes the route clear: Přerov is the starting point, the three named places lie along the described route, and Zábeštní Lhota is the destination. If you include this hike in your travel plans, check the trail markings locally before setting out. This gives you a practical navigation step to consider alongside the named stops when planning your trip.

The community orchard in Zábeštní Lhota is open to the public free of charge. Unlike the hiking trail, it offers a different way to spend time outdoors: rather than a route with several named stops, the focus here is on a public orchard as a destination in its own right. This can help you choose if you are deciding between a hiking route and a single outdoor spot. You can include the orchard in your travel plans without tying your stay to a particular route.
