Lesov offers three distinct starting points for planning a trip: the history of Concordia Lesov, a marked point on National Cycle Route No. 6, and a biotope amid a landscape shaped by agriculture. Depending on whether culture, a cycling route, or the character of the landscape is your main focus, your planning will start in a different place. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first choose Lesov based on the reason for your trip, then consider which of these aspects will matter most during your stay.

Porcelain history in several stages

Concordia Lesov was founded by Ernst Máder in 1888. After the Second World War, Concordia Lesov became part of the Karlovarský porcelán company. In 2009, Thun 1794 acquired Concordia Lesov, including its brand and technical equipment. These milestones give the porcelain history a clear chronology: the founding was followed by a new corporate affiliation after the war, and later by the acquisition by Thun 1794. For guests interested in culture, this timeline provides a specific context; it distinguishes the company’s history from a single visit to the workshop.

A closer look at the workshop

A guided tour of the workshop in Lesov was offered in 2020. Visitors could watch the handmade production of a cup or saucer, as well as hand-glazing. This provides a specific insight into the craft alongside the company’s history: the tour focused on an object and a stage of the work. If this is a key part of your trip planning, check the current booking options in advance. The tour was offered in 2020.

Cycle Route No. 6: route and marker

The Karlovy Vary Region section of National Cycle Route No. 6 runs through the settlement of Sedmidomky and past the Mexiko pond to a junction near Lesov. The junction is marked on National Cycle Route No. 6 at kilometre 21.5. The two details complement each other for navigation: Sedmidomky and Mexiko pond identify points along the section, while kilometre 21.5 gives the marker location at the junction. This makes it possible to locate Lesov by reference to a specific route, rather than just its name. If you are planning a cycling trip, you can take this stop into account when choosing the section that suits you.

Lesov in its landscape setting

Lesov is a biotope amid a landscape shaped by agriculture. This description highlights a different focus from the company history or cycle route: here, the emphasis is on how the place fits into its surroundings. For travellers who also consider the landscape when choosing a destination, this is a distinct point of reference.

The porcelain history places Concordia Lesov in its historical timeline, the cycle route provides a sequence of named points and a kilometre marker, and the biotope describes the character of the landscape. This distinction can help you choose where to go: you can first decide whether your main interest is culture, a cycling route, or the landscape, rather than treating all three topics as equivalent visits.
