Nature

Borkoviště is a peat bog covering approximately 2 hectares in the Lužice forest near the cycle route. The historical manual extraction of peat at Borkoviště was called “borkování”. In the 18th and 19th centuries, peat was extracted there for heating and as bedding for livestock.

The area of Lužické letiště is considered a site where South Bohemian moldavites can be found. Lužické letiště is frequently used for model aircraft competitions.

Culture and History

A niche chapel stands beside the old road to Netolice. One of the routes of the old trade road, known as the Linecká, which connected Bohemia and the Austrian lands, probably ran along this road.

A wooden folk-style bell tower stands at the corner of the village square. Lužice is also home to folk-style agricultural farmsteads of the so-called longitudinal type. The gap left by the demolition of the large Hojdaroviny estate has been preserved on the village square. Rows of stone walls line the road.
