Visitors to Lichnov U Bruntálu can shape their stay around two distinct themes: the village history of Dubnice and cycle route No. 6165, which runs through the village. There is also the branch church of Saint Anthony of Padua and the Hájnický potok, which divides the built-up area. This offers different points of interest: architectural history, the layout of the village and cycling.
The village landscape along the Hájnický potok
The Hájnický potok flows through Dubnice and divides the built-up area into two parts. The buildings are concentrated along a length of one kilometre beside a local road and road III/4595 between Dubnice, Býkov and Láryšov. The stream and the roads describe different aspects of the village layout: the stream divides the built-up area, while the buildings extend along the roads mentioned above. These spatial features provide a concrete frame of reference before you turn to specific historical or cycling topics.
Church and architectural history
A prominent landmark is the branch church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Dubnice. This valuable church was built in 1822–1823 in the Empire style and, together with the adjoining boundary wall, forms a landmark of the village. The church restoration was completed in October 2025. The construction period and the completion of the restoration thus belong to two clearly distinct periods in its history. If you are planning to visit the interior, it is best to check in advance whether visits are possible.
Historical traces and the village centre
A document from 1289 mentions Dubnice as the property of Beneš of Branice and Lobenštejn. In 1409, Markéta, daughter of Petr of Lichnov, received Dubnice as a dowry from her husband, Jindřich Čelma of Brantice.
The medieval and modern-era core of the village is another point of interest: it is registered as a Category ÚAN II archaeological area. Archaeological finds have been documented there or are reasonably expected. This complements the dated historical events and the church with a perspective on the older village centre.
Cycling on route No. 6165
Cycle route No. 6165 runs through Zátor, Dubnice, Býkov-Láryšov and Úvalno to the Úvalno/Branice border crossing. Another route description gives the reverse sequence, from Úvalno through Býkov-Láryšov and Dubnice to Zátor; the cycle route is listed as 14.4 kilometres long. This makes it possible to see Dubnice as a stop along a named route, while the directions help with planning from different starting points. Check the current signage and surface conditions before setting off.
Plan your accommodation and stay
When looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether the village history, the church or cycling will shape your stay. For a cycling trip, the route signage and surface are the practical questions to check in advance; if you plan to visit the church interior, check whether visits are possible.
