Lisky combines a forest landscape with the pilgrimage history of Svatá Anna. Svatá Anna lies in the area around Lísky, deep in the forest at an elevation of 610 metres. The small pilgrimage church, the history of the former spa, and a cycling trip to Chýnovská Cave offer different focal points for planning your trip. If you are looking for a holiday rental in Lisky, you can first consider whether religious history or cycling will shape your stay.

Pilgrimage Church and Spa History

The small pilgrimage church in Svatá Anna is dedicated to Saint Anne. Next to it stands a Baroque, centrally planned hexagonal chapel built over a spring. Leopold Vilém Kolowrat-Krakowsky had the chapel built in 1772, founded a spa there, and had the church expanded. The chapel's location over the spring connects its architectural history with that of the spa; the church and chapel represent different aspects of the religious and historical heritage.

The former spa included a bathhouse with five cabins, as well as a large open-air pool with ten cabins at the edge of the forest. The figures distinguish between two parts of the bathing facilities at the time: cabins in the bathhouse and an open-air pool with its own cabins. They show that the spa's history involved more than just a founding story, without confusing the former facilities with present-day offerings.

Ancient lime and oak trees stand by the church and chapel. Every year, on the Sunday after 25 July, a pilgrimage procession takes place to the church of Svatá Anna. Since the date depends on the day of the week and the specific arrangements may vary, check the details for the relevant year before planning a trip around it. This allows you to take the recurring occasion into account when choosing your travel dates.

Forest Landscape and Cycling Route

Lísky is also surrounded by forest. The landscape also includes the ancient lime and oak trees by the religious buildings of Svatá Anna. This forest setting is complemented by a specific cycling excursion: a cycling trip to Chýnovská Cave goes from Vlčeves via Lišky (Lísky), then on to Nové Dvory and Pořín. The named places provide a clear sequence for the route, which you can use to guide your route planning.

Chýnovská Cave was prepared and opened to the public in 1868. For current planning, check the cave's present visiting options and the route conditions. The two excursions thus have different focal points: the procession is tied to a recurring annual date, while the cycling trip is described by a sequence of named places.

Planning Your Stay

This distinction is useful when choosing your travel dates. If you are interested in the pilgrimage, use the Sunday after 25 July as a guide and check the specific details for the relevant year. For the cycling trip, the sequence of places and the cave's current visiting options are the main considerations. Then tailor your search for a holiday rental in Lisky to your dates and the focus of your stay; check the availability of a specific accommodation for your travel dates.
