Between Lázně Bělohrad and Ostroměř, the Javorka flows through Šárovcova Lhota. You can get to know the town through its trails, an annual river descent and traces of its architectural and local history. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Šárovcova Lhota, these different points of interest can help you get a sense of what a stay here is like.

By the water and on marked trails

The Sjezd Javorky takes place on the Javorka every year between late April and early May: a descent down the river. The event began in 2001. If you plan to include it in your trip, check the specific event dates before you travel.

Šárovcova Lhota’s Route No. 11 is six kilometres long. It is unsuitable for cyclists, as its first section runs through the forest on an unpaved path. The route’s length and this restriction provide clear guidance if you are considering a walk or planning a cycling trip.

A green-marked hiking trail passes through the town towards Ostroměř and Lázně Bělohrad. From the “Vyhlídka na Český ráj” viewpoint bench, you can see the ruins of Trosky between the trees.

Architectural and local history

A memorial stone dating from 1817 and associated with Mlázovice–Šárovcova Lhota has been protected as an immovable cultural monument since 15 August 2020. Dates like this make the town’s historical connections tangible. The bust of the writer Alois Jirásek below the settlement of Libín was designed by Jan Štursa and carved in sandstone by Jan Kyselo.

The round Cihelna brickworks is another notable site. During the season, guided tours with expert commentary are available by prior arrangement. The exhibition includes copies of original drawings, wooden brick moulds, a steel turntable for brick carts and wooden supports. You can also see a wooden hoist that is still in working order. If you would like to visit Cihelna, arrange your tour in advance.

Gregorův hostinec is a two-storey log building erected around 1866 beside a path in the lower part of the settlement. At Hrádek, the dimensions of 170 × 140 metres give an idea of the site’s size; it was fortified on its eastern side by a rampart and a ditch. These different details—building style, dimensions and fortifications—offer several ways to explore the area’s history.

An event, a route or a guided tour?

For planning purposes, the options mainly differ in their conditions: the Sjezd Javorky takes place during an annual time window, Route No. 11 has a set length, and tours of Cihelna are available by arrangement during the season. Check the specific event dates for the river descent, and arrange a brickworks tour in advance.
