Lhotice can be explored through several specific themes: an excursion train route runs through the village, signposted trails follow it, and the protected Winter Lime Tree Lípa u Lhotic stands east of the village. Other points of interest include the Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and the village’s history, whose first written mention dates back to 1361. If you are looking for a holiday apartment, you can first decide whether the railway, trails, natural monument or architectural history should be the focus of your stay. The various routes have their own destinations and courses; this is a useful distinction when planning.

Railway Line and Signposted Trails

An excursion train route runs from Jemnice via Lhotice to Moravské Budějovice. Check operating days before your trip. There are signposted trails for walkers and tourists along the route through Lhotice; check the trail markers locally before setting out. The railway line and the trails offer different points of connection: one passes through a succession of places, while the others run along the route.

Routes with Different Destinations

The “Památné stromy” route runs from Jemnice via Lhotice to Slavíkovice. Check its current course using signs or maps. The “Výlet k ‚Hlubočáku‘” excursion takes a different route: it runs from Jemnice via Lhotice and the settlement of Tři Koroptve, then back to Jemnice; check local conditions before your trip. The destination is a concrete difference to consider when choosing: the first route continues to Slavíkovice, while the excursion returns to Jemnice.

The Winter Lime Tree Lípa u Lhotic

East of the village, by a crossroads, stands Lípa u Lhotic, a winter lime tree. It reaches a height of 20 metres and has a trunk circumference of 385 centimetres. Both measurements may change slightly over time. The lime tree’s first protection declaration dates from 12 February 1976. Its location, species and protection date describe the natural monument from different perspectives: they show where the lime tree stands, what kind of tree it is and since when it has been protected.

Chapel and Village History

The Chapel of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Lhotice is a Neo-Gothic building from 1925. Neo-Gothic architecture revives older Gothic forms in a later building context; the year it was built gives the chapel a distinct historical connection. There is also another chapel and seven crosses in the vicinity of Lhotice. The subject therefore extends beyond one named building into the surrounding area.

Lhotice is first mentioned in writing in 1361; at that time, the village belonged to Otík ze Lhotic. The year refers to the first written mention, while 1925 is the year the chapel was built. These two dates offer different perspectives on the village over time: its early written records and a specific 20th-century building.
