Lkáň: Hotels and Accommodation

Lkáň stretches along both banks of the Rosovka stream in the Klapská Upland on the southern edge of the Bohemian Central Uplands. Its location between the stream, rolling hills and fertile soils shapes the village, as do its historical connections and the cycle paths in the surrounding area.

Landscape

Agriculture and fruit growing in Lkáň have historically benefited from its location, microclimate and fertile soils. There are two water reservoirs in the built-up area near the Rosovka stream.

Košťál, Třešnovka, Kuzov and Jezerka are located around Lkáň and are each considered mountains.

History and Culture

Lkáň is first mentioned in a document issued by King Wenceslaus I in 1237. In the 14th century, the village came into the possession of the noble Zajíc family, who were based at the nearby Hazmburk Castle; Lkáň was incorporated into the Libochovice estate.

The niche chapel is the only cultural monument in Lkáň. Traditional events include the Witches’ Festival, May celebrations, Easter celebrations, a masked carnival, a kite festival, the Three Kings Collection and Christmas celebrations.

The castles of Hazmburk, Hrádek, Hradek Oltářík and Sukoslav are located around Lkáň and are each considered ruins.

Cycle Paths and Transport

Lkáň lies at a junction of cycle paths 3118 and 3119, which lead to the popular Házmburk Castle. The “Lovosice–Házmburk–Lovosice” cycle route also passes through the village. It is approximately 50 km long and follows a moderately difficult route.
