Libošovice - Libošovice

Untrained basket, mess ...

Kost Castle is a short walk away ...

The dilapidated kite stop does not make a good name to the Czech Railways! Two stars for stopping a train from time to time.

The village of Libošovice lies about 3 km northwest of Sobotka, in the Sobotka basin below Nepřívcká hůra at an altitude of about 295 meters. The first written mention of the village comes from 1352, when it was part of the Kostecký estate. In the 15th century, it became the seat of the lord for several decades, but at the end of the 15th century Libošovice again belonged to the Kosti castle. The village had its own church dedicated to St. Procopius. The late Gothic church originally again belonged to Kost Castle, but in 1384 it is listed as a parish. In 1874 it underwent modifications, the building was extended and a church tower was added.

Nádražíčko or rather a stop just above the village Libošovice. This railway station is located on my favorite "local" line from Stará Paka to Mladá Boleslav. At least in my childhood and youth. And the radio at the station in Stará Paka called: "On the 1st platform, end the boarding of the passenger train, which continues to Nová Ves, Lomnice nad Popelkou, Libuna, Dolní Bousov and Mladá Boleslav." This was at a time when stops on this route with poetic names such as Syřenov, Ploučnice, Kněžice, Hrdoňovice, Mladějov in Bohemia or Libošovice were arranged clean and full of flowers. Unfortunately, that time is over. The stops are deserted and the best years are long gone. The tooth of time gnawed here as well. Windows hammered in windows, only concrete posts from the benches ... As a lover of distances and railways in particular, I'm a little sad about it ....
