Cycling, landscape and village history give Lomnicka its distinctive character. A named cycling route section, the Besének stream and the Chapel of St. Frederick offer specific points of reference; there is also the long-standing tradition of Babské hody in September. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, consider whether you would rather plan your stay around cycling connections, cultural and historical sites, or a festival date. Route information describes specific connections, while the chapel and wayside shrine reflect the village’s history.

Cycling: distinguishing a route section from a connection

The cycling route section “Odbočka Lomnička – Lomnice” is 2.78 kilometres long. There is also an opportunity to connect to international cycling route No. 1 Praha – Brno – Vídeň (Greenways) at the entrance to Lomnicka. International cycling route No. 1 continues to Brno via Tišnov and Drásov. When planning your cycling, you can choose between the 2.78-kilometre section and the opportunity to connect to the international route.

There is also a cycling connection along the Besének: conditions have been created for cycling to be routed there. The Pražská cycle path is included in regional plans. There is an opportunity to connect to the international route at the entrance to the village; Pražská is included in regional plans as a cycle path.

Valley, hills and stream

Lomnicka lies at an altitude of 277 metres in a rounded valley bordered by low hills. Mount Květnice is named as the most prominent of these hills. The Besének stream flows through Lomnicka.

Chapel and historic memorial sites

The Chapel of St. Frederick is a valuable cultural and historical monument and defines the setting of the village square. It is believed to be a late Baroque building dating from 1756. In 1852, it was rebuilt by Bedřich Schell of Schellenberk, the former owner of the Tišnov estate.

Another historic point of reference is the wayside shrine on Čimperk. It was erected in 1866 in memory of a Prussian-Austrian skirmish near Tišnov. Lomnicka thus has two distinct historical focal points: the chapel, which defines the setting of the village square, and a memorial with a specific connection to a skirmish.

September tradition

Babské hody in September have a long-standing tradition in Lomnicka. If you would like to plan your stay around this festival, check locally in advance for the specific dates. The name of the month alone is no substitute for a specific date. This allows you to plan your trip around a confirmed festival date, while the cycling routes and historic sites offer further reasons to visit regardless. A local profile from 2021 also mentions the sequence of events: in Lomnicka, the Three Kings collection is followed by Masopust. If you would like to plan your trip around these events, check the current dates locally.
