Nymburk District: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

The historical spectrum in Nymburk District extends as far as Libice nad Cidlinou: there, Slavník had a fortified complex built with a mint, stone church and princely palace. The Slavníkovci hillfort in Libice is a national cultural monument.

Culture

The Polabské národopisné muzeum Přerov nad Labem is one of the oldest regional open-air museums in Europe and dates back to 1895. The museum comprises almost 40 examples of folk architecture, including nine cottages, seven granaries and four barns. The furnished interiors of the cottages show village life in the Polabí region from the mid-18th to the mid-20th century.

The Vlastivědné muzeum Nymburk presents the nature of the Polabí region, prehistoric archaeology and the history of Nymburk. The Památník krále Jiřího z Poděbrad is located in the oldest part of the medieval castle in Poděbrady. It conveys the history of the 14th and 15th centuries through Gothic wall paintings and hundreds of exhibits.

The national cultural monuments also include the Nymburk Crematorium and the Poděbrady Hydroelectric Power Station. Nymburk has well-preserved medieval city walls, and the tower of St Giles’ Church offers views. The town lies on the Elbe Cycle Route, which connects the Czech Republic with Germany.

Nature

Libický luh lies in the flat Elbe floodplain southeast of the confluence of the Elbe and Cidlina rivers. Hrabanovská černava is a national nature monument that protects a Polabí peat bog with wetland and meadow communities as well as rare species.

Písečný přesyp u Píst protects open continental dune grassland. It is one of the few places in the Czech Republic where the substrate is still visibly shifting.
