Key Facts About Brekova Lhota

The first written mention of Břekova Lhota dates from 1352. A chapel and the wayside cross Kříž na návsi v Břekově Lhotě are located on the village square; another chapel stands above the village, and a wayside chapel is near house number 6. A small pond lies on the southwestern edge. Carex pseudocyperus was recorded there on August 18, 2004.

What Cultural Traces Shape the Village?

To get your bearings among the cultural sites, it is worth distinguishing their locations. The chapel Kaple na návsi v Břekově Lhotě is on the village square; the wayside cross Kříž na návsi v Břekově Lhotě is also located there. Above Břekova Lhota stands Kaplička nad Břekovou Lhotou. The wayside chapel Kaplička u domu č.p. 6 v Břekově Lhotě is named for its location near house number 6. The village square, above the village, and house number 6 are therefore three distinct location references that help distinguish the buildings mentioned.

The year 1352 marks the first written mention. It adds a historical point of reference to the specific locations; the location details for the chapels and wayside cross also make the cultural sites spatially distinct.

What Does the Pond Tell Us About Interest in Nature?

The small pond lies on the southwestern edge of Břekova Lhota. Carex pseudocyperus was recorded there on August 18, 2004. This precise connection between place and date makes the find a specific botanical reference point. Unlike the year 1352, which dates a written mention, August 18, 2004 refers to a botanical record made on a particular day.

If you are weighing culture against nature, you will find different perspectives here: on one hand, named buildings and village history; on the other, a small pond with a dated plant observation. This lets you choose the focus that will shape your trip more, without treating the two themes as interchangeable.
