Lubná: Hiking, a Chapel and History on the Edge of the Chřiby Hills

Lubná lies on the edge of the Chřiby Hills, formerly called Hříběcí hory. Two different interests can shape your trip planning: activities on the Stezky severními Chřiby trail network and cultural and historical sites in the village and nearby. This can help you decide what to focus on during your stay: would you rather go hiking and enjoy other forms of exercise, or are you mainly interested in the chapel, the history of its bell and the nearby Tabarky burial ground?

Hiking and other activities

The Stezky severními Chřiby trail network is primarily intended for hiking. Most routes are also suitable for mountain biking; they can also be used for running and Nordic walking. This distinction can help you choose: hiking is the main focus, mountain biking is an option on most routes, while running and Nordic walking offer additional possibilities.

The infrastructure includes information boards with trail maps, tourist signposts, benches and panoramic panels at viewpoints. The maps can help you plan your route; the signposts help you find your way along the trail. Benches offer a place to take a break, while panoramic panels are located directly at viewpoints. The features therefore serve different purposes: orientation, rest and views. This combination is a practical consideration if you plan to focus on outdoor activities.

The chapel and historical traces

The chapel with its bell tower stands on the road that runs through the village; it is estimated to be around 240 years old. May devotions are held there in May. The building thus has both an approximate historical age and a religious occasion during the year associated with it.

The original bell also has its own history: it was hidden and later found in a depot for confiscated bells. Alongside the chapel’s estimated age, the story of the bell is also part of its cultural and historical significance.

The Tabarky burial ground is near Lubná, not within the built-up area of the village. It dates back to the 9th century and bears witness to very early Slavic settlement. The chapel and the burial ground represent different spatial and temporal layers: a building in the village estimated to be around 240 years old, and an archaeological trace from the 9th century nearby.

Events and dates

The Lubenský pedál is a children’s cycling race; the 2026 edition was the third. The 11th edition of the traditional cauldron goulash cooking event was scheduled for 29 August 2026. The events have different themes: children’s cycling and a traditional culinary occasion. If you want to plan your trip around an event, check the dates in advance.

The May devotions are a recurring event associated with the month of May; the two event editions mentioned are from 2026. This difference is useful when planning your time: the devotions take place in a particular month, while the cauldron goulash cooking event was scheduled for a specific date, 29 August.
