Tips:
The Roštejn castle: originally a Gothic castle in the 16th century under Zachariáš of Hradec rebuilt into a Renaissance hunting lodge. The 7-side, 28 meters tall tower offers a splendid view of the environs. During the summer the castle is a venue of a number of cultural events (Banquet, Jazz in the Castle, Theatre performances, nocturnal sightseeing with ghosts)

Ořechov: On the right side of the exit road stands a monument dedicated to the World-War-II Anglo-Czech parachutist lieutenant Adolf Opálka a member of the Out Distance group which carried out the assassination of the Nazi top leader Reinhard Heydrich.

Look-out tower at Oslednice: a look-out tower at an elevated point at the outskirts of the village (elevation 31 m above sea level)
