Libovice: Hotels and Accommodation

Libovice has traditionally been shaped by agriculture and forestry and lies on the edge of Džbán Nature Park. A yellow-marked hiking trail leads through the village and continues to the U Jána trail junction.

Nature

The surrounding landscape includes Zelený vrch, the highest point in the Kejkol forest. Dívčí skála is the remnant of a sandstone rock formation roughly halfway between Sv. Jana and Kvílice. The municipality of Libovice regularly organizes a traditional New Year’s hike to this rock.

Village Life

Jedlý Park covers 1.69 hectares. The park includes additional play and educational features, a workout area, and furniture for recreation and relaxation. Myslivecká chata can be rented for private events.

History

Several places in the surrounding area preserve traces of settlement and economic history from the past. One station on the Libovická Trail is titled “Coal Mining in Libovice” and deals with coal mining in Libovice. At the Osada Necky station, the local tradition is recorded that a settlement called Necky stood there before the Thirty Years’ War. Two cellars and slight traces of foundation walls from this former settlement remain near Osada Necky.

The history of coal mining is also connected with Necky: while deepening a well, residents came across coal at a depth of approximately 11 metres. Traces of the three former pond dams, including their passages, can also still be found at the spring near Necky.

Culture

The Chapel of Saint John of Nepomuk was built in 1837. Above Libovice, the Red Cross commemorates a Russian general who was seriously wounded and died there during the Napoleonic Wars.

The historic village setting also included the Beyerovka manor house, completed in 1867 in the Romantic Tudor Gothic style. The municipality received permission to demolish it in 1964; afterward, all that remained of the building was a pile of stones.
