Discover Lípa: cycling route, cultural landmarks and winter terrain
Lípa combines a 59-kilometre cycling route, winter cross-country skiing and historic landmarks in the village. This gives you three clearly distinct themes to focus on: a longer connection for cycle tourism, a seasonal area for cross-country skiing and tangible traces of the past in Lípa.
The 59-kilometre Cycling Route 4153 from Třemošnice to Štoky passes through Lípa. At this length, the amount of time available for the trip determines the scope of the cycling tour; completing the entire route and riding individual sections require different time allocations. Planned breaks can be adapted to the chosen scope without assuming any other characteristics of the route. In Lípa, the chosen scope also affects the rest of the day’s itinerary: a full cycling tour leaves less room for other activities than a single section.
In addition, the roads through Lípa towards Kochánov, Okrouhlička and Úsobí are suitable for cycle tourism. This allows a cycling tour to be planned in different ways, depending on whether the long connection or one of the three directions is the main focus. The directions provide a clear geographical framework for personal choices without prescribing a specific circular route.
Cycling Route and Winter Terrain
The area around Lípa is suitable for cross-country skiing in winter. For the winter component, the season is the key planning factor. Anyone combining cycling and cross-country skiing in a personal travel plan therefore schedules both the activity and the appropriate time window according to the season available.
Those who combine the cycling route with the historic themes can deliberately limit the scope of the cycling tour and devote the remaining time specifically to the landmarks in Lípa as a separate cultural focus.
Historic Landmarks in and around Lípa
Lípa is home to a statue of the Virgin Mary dating from 1760. There are also numerous wayside crosses in and around Lípa. At the crossroads towards Úsobí and Chyška, Lípa has a Baroque cross dating from 1773. An obelisk on Mandlov Hill commemorates the Patent of Toleration and the abolition of serfdom in 1781. Mandlov Hill also offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
Culture in Petrkov
Petrkov Castle has been protected as a historic monument since December 2009; the Literature Museum regularly organises cultural projects there. Alongside the historic landmarks, the Literature Museum’s cultural projects provide a distinct cultural focus of their own.
