History
The paper mill in Loučovice was founded by Arnošt Porák in the 1880s. Around the turn of the 20th century, it employed more than 1,000 people.
The railway line from Certlov to Lipno is also part of the area's history: it was built between 1909 and 1911 and was the second electrified railway line in Bohemia.
Nature
The cadastral area of Loučovice contains the Vyšebrodsko Nature Park, the Medvědí hora Natural Monument, the Čertova stěna–Luč National Nature Reserve, and the Rašeliniště Kapličky protected area.
In the Čertova stěna–Luč area, the Vltava flows through a natural riverbed filled with large granite boulders, known as Čertovy proudy.
Culture and Local Character
The Church of Saint Procopius is located in Loučovice on the left bank of the Vltava. The Chapel of Saint Procopius, also known as the Chapel of Saint Jost, in Loučovice is said to have been founded in 1361 by Jošt (?) of Rosenberg and rebuilt in the 16th century. It is listed as a cultural monument in the Czech monument register.
The Church of Saint Ulrich stands on the right bank of the Vltava. It was built in the 1480s on the site of an earlier chapel dedicated to Saint Theobald, which Oldřich of Rosenberg had founded in 1361. The church burned down in the 16th century and was restored between 1640 and 1644.
Trails and Water
Marked hiking and cycling routes connect Loučovice with Lipno nad Vltavou, Vyšší Brod, and the Austrian border region. The cross-border cycling crossing at Dürnau is considered a popular destination.
The first annual water slalom took place on the Čertovy proudy on Sunday, September 26, 1954. The race was organized by the TJ Tatran Loučovice water sports club.
