Geography
Lísek is located about 19 kilometres (12 mi) east of Žďár nad Sázavou and 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Brno. It lies in the Upper Svratka Highlands. The highest point is the hill Samotín at 773 m (2,536 ft) above sea level. The Bystřice Stream (a tributary of the Svratka) originates here and flows across the municipal territory.
History
The first written mention of Lhota is from 1360. The village initially belonged to the Pyšolec estate, then to the Pernštejn estate and after 1588 to the Bystřice estate.[3]
In 1951, the small village of Lísek (originally a municipal part of Velké Janovice) was annexed to the municipality and the entire municipality was renamed Lísek, because Lhota is a common Czech toponymy and confusions occurred.[3]
