Lidice: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Memory and Remembrance
Lidice: Self-Guided Audio Walk Through Memory...

This self-guided audio walk explores the tragedy, memory, and renewal of Lidice. It will speak most strongly to travelers interested in World War II history, memorial landscapes, and the human stories behind places that seem quiet at first glance. Your route begins at the Lidice Memorial, where open grass, museum spaces, the rose garden, and powerful bronze figures set the tone. From there, you follow the former village area past the site linked to Stanislav Horák's farm, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, and the footbridge over the Dřetovický Stream. The walk continues toward the cemetery in Vrapice and returns to key commemorative points, including the Memorial to the Children Victims of the War, before ending at the Lidice Gallery and Lidice Art Collection. Along the way, you will move through a landscape where absence is part of what you see: broad fields, gentle paths, scattered memorial markers, and places where ordinary village life once stood. The most memorable moments include standing before the children’s memorial, seeing how art and flowers answer violence, and feeling the contrast between the stillness of the grounds and the weight of the history remembered here.

Lidice: Selbstgeführter Audiowalk durch Erinnerung und Hoffnung
Lidice: Selbstgeführter Audiowalk durch Erinn...

Dieser selbstgeführte Audiowalk führt dich durch die Gedenklandschaft von Lidice und ist besonders für Reisende spannend, die sich für Zeitgeschichte, Erinnerungskultur und stille, eindrucksvolle Orte interessieren. Du hörst die Geschichte eines Dorfes, das 1942 von den Nationalsozialisten zerstört wurde, und begegnest dabei Spuren von Verlust, Würde und Neuanfang. Die Route beginnt an der Lidice Gedenkstätte. Von dort gehst du zu den markierten Orten des ehemaligen Dorfes, darunter das Haus Nr. 93 von Herr und Frau Doležal, Stanislav Horáks Bauernhof und das Massengrab der 173 Männer. Du überquerst die kleine Brücke über den Dřetovický potok, kommst zur Kirche Mariä Himmelfahrt, passierst das Gelände der heutigen Design- und Handwerksschule und erreichst den Jüdischen Friedhof. Danach führen dich die Stationen zum Denkmal für die Kinder, in den Schlosspark mit Medvĕdárium und schließlich zur Lidická galerie mit der Lidicer Kunstsammlung. Unterwegs siehst du offene Wiesen anstelle verschwundener Häuser, bronzene Kinderfiguren mit erschütternder Präsenz, Rosenbeete als Zeichen des Gedenkens und ruhige Wege, die zum Innehalten einladen. Besonders eindrücklich bleiben die Leere des ausgelöschten Dorfes, die Stille am Grab der Männer und der starke Kontrast zwischen Trauer, Kunst und weiterlebender Erinnerung.

Lidická galerie & Lidická sbírka umění (Lidice Art Collection), in Lidice near Kladno, connects art with one of the Czech Republic’s most painful wartime histories. In 1942, Nazi forces destroyed the village of Lidice and murdered or deported its inhabitants. A rebuilt community and memorial landscape now preserve their memory. The art collection grew through works donated by artists in solidarity with Lidice, giving remembrance an international cultural dimension. At the gallery, artworks and exhibitions offer a different perspective from the nearby memorial sites. Rather than recounting the tragedy alone, they invite visitors to consider how artists have responded through creativity and reflection. The gallery makes a thoughtful companion to a visit to the Lidice memorial.

During your visit

  • Read the exhibition labels to understand how individual works relate to Lidice.
