Planning a trip to Dlouhá Lhota can start with three specific themes: hiking, cycling and local history. For hiking, there is the KČT Route VIII; cycle route 1173 runs through the village, and the first written mention dates from 1396. There are also local traditions held annually and Dětský den, which took place on 27 June 2026. These themes offer different ways to explore the area: trails relate to choosing an active route, while historical dates and local festivals offer a cultural perspective on the village. This makes it easy to distinguish between the reason for your trip and your preferred focus from the outset of your planning.

Hiking and Cycling

KČT hiking route VIII passes through Dlouhá Lhota, between the tourist information box at Potok Stružka and Borek. These two named points help you locate the route. Cycle route 1173 also passes through the village, offering a different focus for your planning: cycling is the priority on this route, whereas Route VIII is designated as a hiking route. For your initial orientation, it is enough to distinguish between the two modes of travel; you can then refer to the relevant route information for your trip. A green-marked hiking trail passes through Dlouhá Lhota.

History and Local Events

Dlouhá Lhota was first mentioned in writing in 1396. This year anchors the village’s history to a specific date and offers a different perspective from planning around trails and routes. Annual local traditions include the St Nicholas procession with devils and angels; Barborky celebrations are also held annually. One specific past event was Dětský den on 27 June 2026. It began at the sports grounds and ended at the cultural centre. The programme included competitions for children. The SDH Planá fire brigade displayed its equipment and offered children a water-and-foam activity. There is a distinction to bear in mind when planning dates: the St Nicholas procession and Barborky are held annually, while the June date for Dětský den has already passed. If you would like to plan your visit around one of these festivals, check the specific event date against your travel dates.
