February 2018 - Small sided football pitches in Vojtěchov and Ludmírov





The above pitch is located just outside of Vojtěchov in a forest near the village saw mill.  Vojtěchov has a population of only around 100 and it is unlikely that it ever had a proper football club.  It is only 31km from Prostějov but it seems like a different world. 




The last village I visited on my Sunday hike was Ludmírov, which has a population of around 570.  It may only be 34km from Prostějov, but by public transport it takes 1 hour.  Ludmírov is probably best known locally for a few caves wihch are located close to the village.  In 1930, the population was 1,030, and 40 years later it was 728, so it seems likely the village must have had a proper football club at some point over the last 90 years.
