Discover Lukovany

When looking for a hotel in Lukovany, it helps to have a specific reason for your trip. Topics include the Kostel sv. Václava church, a reconstructed traditional dress tradition and routes with different focuses. There are also seasonal outdoor activities. Cultural history, a route stage and a seasonal activity require different kinds of planning; once you decide what matters most, you can also better determine which conditions to check in advance.

Romanesque church and Baroque pulpit

The Kostel sv. Václava church is listed as a cultural monument under registration number 0800/1. Its Romanesque structure dates from before 1300, and inside is a Baroque pulpit dating from 1716. Thus, an early building and a much later furnishing stand side by side. For those interested in cultural history, this layering of periods makes the church a particularly multifaceted subject.

Reconstructed traditional dress

The traditional dress of Lukovany was reconstructed in 2024 using some surviving pieces of the original attire and written descriptions that had been found. The reconstruction therefore drew on both material remnants and written records. At the 2024 celebrations, the reconstructed costumes were presented alongside local children’s and youth folklore, a demonstration of the fair ritual, and songs and dances that were sung and performed at celebrations in the past.

Routes with different focuses

The Hornická Stezka runs from the Oslava Valley to Bílý potok through the former Rosicko-Oslavany hard-coal mining district and focuses on mining heritage sites. The Stezka permoníků is laid out differently: this 30-kilometre circular route passes through Lukovany and is suitable for cycling and hiking. The difference between the two descriptions is clear: the Hornická Stezka emphasizes mining history and its course, while the Stezka permoníků emphasizes its circular layout, length and the option of travelling on foot or by bike.

On the section of the Stezka permoníků between Zbýšov and Lukovany, the route follows stony, very wet forest paths; there are three maintained fords along the way. These specific conditions apply to the section mentioned. They add details about the surface to the circular route’s general suitability for cycling and hiking. As trail conditions can change after rain and seasonal maintenance, check the current conditions and signage before setting out.

Seasonal activities

Blackberries are picked in summer and mushrooms gathered in autumn in the woods just outside Lukovany. These woodland activities are seasonal; conditions and access may vary. A local pond on the road from Zakřany to Lukovany is considered a fishing stop. If you plan to visit the woods or stop to fish, check the relevant local access conditions.

The time references serve different planning purposes: the traditional dress presentation was part of the 2024 celebrations, while blackberry picking and mushroom gathering are associated with summer and autumn, respectively. This lets you distinguish between a cultural topic with a historical time reference and seasonal activities.
