Dlouha Lhota – History, Festivals and Trails

If you’re looking for a hotel in Dlouha Lhota, you can plan your trip around specific local points of interest: its history, local events, and hiking and cycling routes through the village. When planning, it’s worth deciding what matters most to you: would you like to attend an event, go hiking or cycle? These questions lead to different details—a dated event, annual traditions or a particular route.

Local History and Events

The first written mention of Dlouhá Lhota dates back to 1396. On June 27, 2026, Dětský den (Children’s Day) took place in Dlouhá Lhota. It began at the sports fields and ended at the cultural center. The program included competitions for children. The SDH Planá fire brigade demonstrated its equipment and offered children a water-and-foam activity. Thus, the year of the first written mention and a single, specifically dated event represent two different time frames in the village’s history.

Annual Traditions

Annual traditions include a St. Nicholas procession with devils and angels. Barborky celebrations are also held every year. These traditions differ from the single, dated Dětský den in that they are recurring events throughout the year. You can plan your travel dates to suit the occasion.

Hiking, Cycling and the Natural Environment

The KČT hiking route VIII passes through Dlouhá Lhota between the tourist information box at Potok Stružka and Borek. A green-marked hiking trail also runs through the village, as does Cycle Route 1173. These details offer different ways to choose a route: the KČT route has named reference points, the hiking trail is identified by its green markings, and the cycle route by number 1173. If you’re comparing hiking and cycling options, you can use these specific route features as a guide.

Turovecký les Nature Park lies west of Dlouhá Lhota. This adds a clear directional reference: the nature park is west of the village, while the hiking and cycling routes mentioned above pass through Dlouhá Lhota. These offer different points of reference for planning your trip—a nature park to the west and routes that run through the village.

Getting There by Bus
