The tradition of building the maypole has returned to "Dědina"

The whole idea was born last autumn and the initiative came directly from the Home for the Elderly. The intention to bring back the tradition of Maypole building to "Dědina" was supported by the newly established Pramen Luhačovice Foundation, and so a big event began to be planned not only for the Home, but for the whole surrounding area. Unfortunately, the coronavirus pandemic forced us to discount our plans and we built the maypole only in an intimate way and with all necessary precautions. Even so, we are very happy about it and hope that it has also pleased our dear neighbours.

We believe that the 12-metre high maypole, which now stands outside our building, will be a symbol of hope that our lives will soon gradually return to normal and we will be able to meet again on similar occasions. Hopefully, next year, the erection of the maypole will be accompanied by a celebration with music and refreshments, but most importantly, by the participation of all those who want to commemorate this tradition in Luhačovice again.

We would like to thank the Pramen Luhačovice Foundation for its financial support, which covered the decoration of the maypole and the technical support. We would also like to thank the entire team of "builders" from the Luhačovice Volunteer Fire Brigade and Chief Michal Kubel and Alois Obadal for the beautiful maypole.
