Hotels in Lechotice: Village History and the Route to Na Strážné

Lechotice can be understood through three specific dimensions: landscape, village history, and customs. As a result, the focus is not only on the location itself, but also on visible architectural traces, inherited traditions, and destinations suitable for short walks or bike rides.

Landscape

Lechotice lies at the southern foothills of the Hostýnské vrchy and below the wooded slopes of the Zlínská vrchovina. Behind Lechotice in the direction of Racková, there is a pond on the Žídelná stream that is a popular destination for cyclists. At the retention basin, visitors can observe waterfowl and life around the basin. The landscape thus extends from the wooded slopes to the stream and its pond.

Culture and Customs

The first written record of the existence of the Lechotice settlement dates from 1342. On the village square “Dědina,” only two of the formerly representative farmsteads have survived in their original appearance. The square’s defining structure is a picturesque brick bell tower. In front of it stands a monument erected in 1921 to the soldiers who fell in the First World War.

The former village school, built in 1868, is also part of the village’s history. After the new school was built in 1912, the former school became a smithy and the family home of František Karlík. Another distinctive feature is the Staré hanácké právo, which has been preserved in its traditional form in the East Haná municipalities of Sazovice, Mysločovice, Lechotice, Racková, and Machová. An essential part of this tradition is a procession through the municipality, stopping at individual houses and accompanied by a recitation of their residents’ transgressions.

Routes and Excursion Destinations

The route “From Lechotice to the Na Strážné Lookout Tower” offers a 3.6 km round trip from Lechotice to the Na Strážné lookout tower. The pond on the Žídelná stream is also among the excursion destinations mentioned for cyclists; there, visitors can observe the surroundings of the retention basin and its waterfowl. The Tour de Žídelná also has a checkpoint in Lechotice.

In the Village

Lechotice has an excursion area with a dance floor. The green space around the bell tower and monument provides seating in peaceful surroundings. The Bartolomějské hody festival is held regularly in Lechotice in August.
