Nedašova Lhota is a border village on the Slovak Republic border, in the Závrší area and within the Bílé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area. Here, a present-day border location, a protected landscape and a long history come together. When planning your trip, you can consider nature, outdoor activities and cultural heritage as different areas of focus. Hiking and cycling routes offer a different perspective from the named historical landmarks of the village.

Landscape, Juniper and Routes

Protected juniper sites can be found in Rovnice, near Maleník, in Potůčky and in Zadky. These specific place names complement the broader perspective of the protected landscape area. If you are interested in the area's natural environment, you can also explore the named juniper sites.

The 23 km “Valašské pastorále” hiking trail passes through the hilly countryside around Závrší in the Nedašovka River valley. Návojná, Nedašov and Nedašova Lhota are part of this hilly landscape. The trail offers a view beyond the individual village: its description covers several municipalities and the Nedašovka valley.

Two other routes are named for cycling trips. The 28 km “Na kole po Závrší” route leads to the start of Nedašova Lhota and then climbs through the village. The 35 km cross-border “Naučná cyklotrasa Hugolína Gavloviča” cycling and educational route runs from Valašské Klobouky via Nedašov and Nedašova Lhota to Pruské. You can choose between a 23 km hike and two cycling routes of 28 and 35 km. The longest of the three is the cross-border cycling route. You can choose first by activity and distance; check the details of this route locally before setting off.

Border History and Cultural Heritage

Nedašova Lhota was first mentioned in writing in 1503. At that time, the settlement was named in the land registers as part of the Brumov estate and castle. The castle guarded the state border at the time, at the Vlárský průsmyk pass, facing Hungary. The present-day border village on the Slovak Republic border and this historical connection to a former state border belong to different periods in the village's history.

Surviving landmarks include a listed wooden log-frame bell tower dating from 1867 and a masonry bell tower dating from 1933. Cultural heritage also includes a small bell from 1775. The dates invite a direct comparison: the bell is older than both towers, while the towers are distinguished by their different construction methods. The cultural heritage is reflected not only in the dates, but also in the different materials.

Beyond bells and towers, historical tools and installations are also represented. A wooden fruit-drying structure is located at Fojtík Jan No. 14. The Nedašova Lhota fire station houses a four-wheeled manual fire pump dating from 1902. Together with the bell towers, these landmarks offer insight into different aspects of the local cultural heritage: buildings, a bell, fruit drying and historical firefighting equipment.
