Near Lukoviště, the source of the Úslava and a pond lie close together. The settlement is the starting point for a named hike, and cycling route 2041 passes through it. This gives you different ways to plan an excursion: a river source, a hike with an approximate distance, and a cycling route with several named places. Farmstead No. 12 and two memorials add to the local architectural and historical points of interest.

Water, Hiking and Route Details

The source of the Úslava is in the cadastral area of Lukoviště and is very close to a pond near Lukoviště. The hike “K pramenům Úslavy a na vrchol Drkolné” starts in Lukoviště and then heads north along a farm track. In essence, the Czech title announces a route to the sources of the Úslava and up to the summit of Drkolné. Including a few short detours, the hike is about 6 to 7 kilometres long. These detours are included in this approximate distance. The starting point, direction and length give you concrete details for planning; as conditions on farm tracks can vary, it is worth checking the route shortly before setting out.

Cycling Route 2041 and Its Places

Cycling route 2041 offers a different way to orient yourself. It passes through Lukoviště and leaves the settlement on a farm track towards Čihaň. The route sequence lists Kolinec, Mlázovy, Lukoviště and Čihaň; it then continues towards Plánice and Nepomuk. Lukoviště comes between Mlázovy and Čihaň in the sequence given. Unlike the hike, the cycling route is described by places and directions, while an approximate distance is given for the hike. This gives you two different kinds of planning information: a hiking route with an estimated distance and a cycling route with named stages and a continuation. Check the signs locally; conditions on farm tracks can also vary along the cycling route.

Folk Architecture and Memorials

Farmstead No. 12 is a cultural monument and an example of 19th-century folk architecture. It consists of a single-storey masonry house with a Baroque-inspired gable and an adjoining agricultural building. The term “Baroque-inspired” describes the design of the gable; the classification as 19th-century folk architecture refers to the farmstead. You can therefore appreciate the building both for its historical type and for its specific details. The connection between the agricultural building and the house is a distinctive feature.

Beside the chapel in Lukoviště stands a memorial to Nikolai Nemešev, a fallen Russian partisan. It was unveiled in 1971. The Baštářův Cross is located elsewhere: it stands at a crossroads near Lukoviště, on the route from Mlázov towards Hradiště. This distinction is useful for orientation: the chapel is the landmark for the memorial, while the cross is identified by the crossroads and the direction of the route. Both sites add their own local history to the architectural features.
