Dlouhá Lhota can be considered when choosing where to stay based on specific interests: the church dedicated to Saint Bartholomew, church services and public festival traditions form a cultural focus. The signposted cycle route 5144 and bus route 313 provide separate options for getting around. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether culture, a particular event or mobility should be the priority during your stay.

The church and church services

The Church of Saint Bartholomew was built in 1804 and dedicated to the saint. It is listed as an immovable cultural monument. The year dates the construction of the church, while the dedication identifies its patron saint; his feast day, in turn, is the reference point for the church service. The church year includes a service on the Sunday after the feast of Saint Bartholomew (24 August). The exact schedule may change; if you wish to plan your stay around this service, check the specific date in advance. This distinguishes an interest in the historic church building from a trip timed to coincide with a church service.

Public festival traditions

The public events programme includes a traditional serving or tasting of slivovitz, as well as a traditional pouť, a local pilgrimage or church festival. The drink is the focus of the tasting, while the pouť is a religiously rooted festive occasion. Individual programmes may change. If you wish to travel for a pouť or tasting, check the latest dates in advance.

Cycle route through Dlouhá Lhota

Signposted cycle route 5144 runs through Dlouhá Lhota along the road to the neighbouring municipality of Býkovice. Through the valley of the Býkovka stream, the same route connects Dlouhá Lhota with Kunčina Ves and Bedřichov. For your planning, it is useful to distinguish the road route to Býkovice from the valley route towards Kunčina Ves and Bedřichov. Before setting off, check whether the signs are up to date.

Bus service and timetable

Regular bus route 313 serves Dlouhá Lhota on the Lysice–Býkovice–Dlouhá Lhota–Brťov-Jeneč–Lipůvka–Kuřim route. It offers a different way to plan your journey than the cycle route: for a specific bus trip, the current IDS JMK timetable is essential. Check it before travelling if you wish to include the route in your plans. Remember to plan your return journey too.

A seasonal connection with nature

Dlouhá Lhota is home to a regionally significant summer colony of lesser horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus hipposideros). The summer aspect distinguishes this nature-related interest from specific dates in the church and events calendar. If the time of year matters to you as much as a particular reason for visiting, you can consider these two timing perspectives separately.
