Loděnice: Hotels and Accommodation
Loděnice combines a clearly traceable architectural history with a cycling route that begins here. Historical details can be found both at the parish church of St. Margaret and at the Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk.
Culture
The statue of St. John of Nepomuk originally stood on a bridge and is now located on a stone fountain. The parish church of St. Margaret is a Gothic brick building erected from the 1430s onwards in place of an earlier fortified church dating from 1210 to 1240. The chancel was built first, followed later by the three-nave body; the main nave was vaulted around 1504.
The Chapel of St. John of Nepomuk stands on the village square opposite House No. 5. Its almost square structure is made of stone and bricks; the building is topped by a gabled roof covered with slate tiles, complemented by a tower with an onion-shaped dome. The entrance portal bears the date 1841. Inside are a stone altar, a polychrome statue of St. John of Nepomuk, and wall paintings. These are complemented by medallions of the Virgin Mary with the infant Jesus and of St. Anne.
Another historical monument is the atonement, or reconciliation, stone in Loděnice. The sandstone block bears a roughly executed bas-relief in the form of a one-armed cross.
Cycling Routes
The 84-kilometre cycling route Živé pomezí Krumlovsko–Jevišovicko, which is not a circular route, begins in Loděnice and ends in Bítov. It runs as a green corridor and largely avoids heavily trafficked roads. Its route passes through a hilly landscape with occasional unexpected views across the open countryside; most of it runs through predominantly agricultural landscapes with occasional forests.
Loděnice is also connected to the Damnice–Pravlov section of the Znojemská vinařská stezka.
