Lomec hill (552 m) lies 5 km north of the town Netolice and 5 km from the town Vodnany.
Outdoor Altar is located next to Church of the Name of Virgin Mary.
The Baroque Church of the Name of Virgin Mary stands on the eastern slope right near the top. It was founded between 1695 - 1702 and it soon became a well-known pilgrimage place. The monumental main altar was created after 1700 as a copy of the tabernacle in the Church of St. Peter in Vatican. The old huge lime trees grow around the church and the lime alley runs to the mansion in the neighbouring village Libejovice.
The rectory (originally hunters' chateau) from the first half of the 18th century stands opposite the church.
Material(s): stone
