Libchyně: Hotels and Accommodation

Libchyně is situated in a valley on the Libchyňský potok, about 4 km upstream and northeast of Nové Město nad Metují. The valley of the Libchyňský potok offers a walk through almost untouched nature.

Nature and Trails

The Libchyňské údolí Geotrail is a 3 km-long nature trail with a total of nine stations. It follows the green hiking trail through the Libchyňské údolí to Libchyně. The section from the “nad koupalištěm” turnoff to Libchyně is 3.3 km long. The terrain of the Libchyňské údolí Geotrail is not suitable for strollers. The route through Libchyně leads to a stone cross from 1872.

The “Sendraž – rozhledna Na Vartě” hiking trail also leads to Libchyně. It runs through the valley of the Libchyňský potok and crosses five footbridges.

Landscape

The Libchyňský potok cuts into the bedrock along its entire course. The bedrock consists of Upper Cretaceous sediments, particularly marlstone, as well as the underlying metamorphic phyllites.

History and Culture

The first written mention of Libchyně dates back to 1459. In 1503, Jan Černčický of Kácov transferred the village to the newly founded Nové Město Hradiště, under whose lordship it remained until 1848. In 1557, Jan Štěpán built a mill in Libchyně, which was purchased by Jan Libchyňský in 1636.

Today, the archaeological hillfort features a rampart and a ditch.
