An oval hillfort site, a hiking route through the Lomec area and a cycling tour through the village offer different perspectives for planning a trip. They are complemented by a historic trade route and the Luňáky Nature Reserve, with its conservation mission. If you are looking for accommodation in Lomec, these cultural, natural and route-related features can help you choose the focus of your stay.

Distinguishing between the hiking route and cycling tour

The blue-marked Svatojakubská cesta hiking route runs through the Lomec area. Check the current trail markings on site before setting out.

A cycling tour from Klatovy to Loreta passes through Lomec. It can start at Klatovy main railway station or at any other starting point in the town. The destination can be Mercandinovy sady or another place in Klatovy. This makes the cycling tour different to plan from the hiking route: the start and finish of the former can be chosen freely in Klatovy, while the latter runs through the Lomec area.

Historical traces in Lomec

An old trade route from Bavaria once passed through Lomec to Luby and continued into the Bohemian interior. Its historical course is a different point in time from the cycling tour, which describes a route between Klatovy and Loreta. Lomec itself is first mentioned in 1358.

The Lomec hillfort site is oval and measures 20 × 24 metres. No remains of walls have survived at the site. It lies on the southeastern edge of a pond that is currently drained. Its shape, dimensions and position at the edge of the pond help you locate the hillfort site.

The Luňáky Nature Reserve

The Luňáky Nature Reserve protects the last remnants of wet meadows in the Úhlava Basin. It also protects nesting sites and migration areas of protected and endangered animal species. For nature enthusiasts, this identifies two aspects of the reserve’s conservation work: preserving the wet meadows and the area’s importance to animal species during nesting and migration periods.

Getting there and finding your way

Lomec and Novákovice are served exclusively by bus. Both places share the “Lomec, Novákovice, rozc. 0.4” bus stop. Check the current bus connection before your trip. This lets you include travel arrangements in your plans before deciding which of the routes and topics mentioned best suits your stay.

You can also plan to enjoy the view only under a specific condition: if you continue along the local road towards Luby, you can see Klatovy in the valley to the left of the road in fine weather. The view of Klatovy is a specific point of reference for this direction of travel. Together with the information about the hiking route, cycling tour and bus connection, it provides another way to orient your plans geographically.
