Ledce: Discover Theater, History, and Trails

• The amateur theater group puts on performances every year for the surrounding area.
• The Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on the village square was built in 1873.
• A memorial in the town center bears the names of 34 residents who fell in the First and Second World Wars.

The open-air theater was built by residents on the village square near the chapel in 1955 and is still in use today. The Chapel of Our Lady of Mount Carmel also stands on the village square. The amateur theater group puts on performances every year for the surrounding area; performances take place either at the open-air theater or in a hall with a stage, full theater equipment, and a curtain.

The local theater scene therefore combines a venue in use since 1955 with a recurring program. The hall has a stage, full theater equipment, and a curtain. These two venues offer a specific insight into Ledce’s cultural life, though they do not indicate a particular performance date.

The memorial in the center commemorates the victims of both world wars and lists the names of 34 fallen residents. The historic center is considered an area of urban-planning significance. A timbered farmhouse on plot 35 is classified as a building of architectural value.

Ledce also has a cemetery with a chapel. The history of the village also includes Kačírna, a remote locality belonging to Ledce, also known as Kačerovna. A hut for a duck keeper once stood there, and many ducks were kept in a pond. A forester’s lodge was later built on the same site.

A single European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is designated as a memorial tree. The watercourses Vlkava, Ledecký potok, and Svatojířský potok are among the landscape features of the municipality. Ptácký rybník and Bumbálek are bodies of water within the municipal area. When finding your way around, it helps to distinguish these different landscape features: three named watercourses, two bodies of water, and one individual designated memorial tree.

The green-marked KČT hiking trail No. 661 leads from Ledce to Domousnice. KČT trail No. 2264 runs between Ledce and Loučeň.
