Peč combines a long local history with the landscape of the Dačice Basin. South of the village, Urbanečský vrch rises to 570 m; in the southern part of the basin, it is one of the dominant elevations. The history and landscape give you two concrete points of reference for understanding Peč as a travel destination.
Peč: History Spanning Several Centuries
The first written mention of Peč dates from 1305. After 1417, the village was divided into two parts, which were assigned to the parishes of Lipolec and Cizkrajov. From the mid-16th century, Peč belonged to the hospital of Slavonice. These milestones show different historical connections: first the early written mention, then the division with two parish affiliations, and later the village’s association with the hospital.
The village’s history therefore cannot be reduced to a single year. These dates place Peč within a span of several centuries while also distinguishing the nature of each connection. If you are interested in the history of small villages, these three milestones provide a concise chronological framework without adding later developments.
Landscape and Getting There
Urbanečský vrch lies south of Peč and reaches 570 m. As one of the dominant elevations in the southern part of the Dačice Basin, it shapes the landscape of the area. Its elevation and location provide a concrete point of reference for anyone who also considers the landscape when choosing a travel destination. No hiking route up the hill is specified here; the mountain serves only as a point of reference in the landscape.
Bus stops are located directly in the village. Train travel is also an option: the railway station is 2 km from Peč, in the direction of Cizkrajov. Check current connections before travelling so you can plan your bus or train journey accordingly. The stops in the village and the distance to the station are two distinct details about transport links.
A cycling tour also passes through Peč: “Na románský hrad Landštejn přes zapomenutou Maříž” is 46 km long. This distance refers to the tour, not to a route entirely within the village. For travel planning, Peč is therefore a village along a specifically named cycling tour; the information does not state how long the ride takes or how difficult it is.
Church and Routes in Lidéřovice
The Church of St. Linhart stands in Lidéřovice. It was built at the beginning of the 14th century and remodelled in the Late Gothic style in the mid-15th century. Next to the church is the ossuary: an originally Gothic stone chapel from the 14th century, built into the perimeter wall. The two buildings can be distinguished by their different dates: for the church, the later Late Gothic remodelling is noted alongside its early construction date; for the ossuary, the focus is on its Gothic origins, stone construction, and incorporation into the wall.
A red-marked hiking trail also passes through Lidéřovice, as does cycling route No. 1242. The marking refers to the hiking trail, while the number identifies the cycling route. Thus, two types of route with different designations are specified for Lidéřovice. This route information stands on its own and complements the specific details about Peč’s village and landscape, without implying a particular connection between the places or a shared route.
