Veselá: A hilltop village of history and activity

Veselá lies on a hill at 346 m above sea level. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay in Veselá, you can consider whether history, activities in the area or a cycling route best suits your travel interests.

Prehistory and historical milestones

Traces of settlement from the late Neolithic and Eneolithic periods have been found in Veselá. The finds include stone tools and a flint axe. The types of finds give the prehistoric connection a concrete form: in addition to traces of settlement, specific objects are mentioned. These traces date from long before the first mention of the village in 1407. Archaeological finds and a historical mention are different chronological reference points: the finds point to prehistoric settlement, while 1407 marks the date of Veselá’s first mention.

Veselá was first mentioned in 1407 as part of the Lukov estate; a chapel was built in the village in 1913. The two dates refer to different events. The overview therefore places prehistoric traces, a medieval connection to the Lukov estate and a building from the early 20th century side by side. This makes it possible to distinguish the finds, the historical mention and the chapel’s construction chronologically.

Sports and cycling route

The sports field with artificial turf is intended for use by the public, as well as by schools, sports organizations and interest groups. There is also a workout area with fitness equipment. The facilities differ in their use and equipment: the intended use of the sports field is specified, while the fitness equipment is the focus at the workout area. If you are planning to use the sports field, check the practical arrangements in advance, as they may change.

The Veselský Circuit passes through Veselá; along the route, the village lies between Klečůvka and Lukov. This sequence of places makes Veselá’s position on the cycling route clear. Unlike the sports field and workout area, which are facilities in the village, the Veselský Circuit is a route through Veselá. This distinction can help with your travel planning when weighing up activity in one place versus a cycling route.
