A hike to Oškobrh can be started in Opolany. The Oškobrh natural monument covers the cadastral area of Opolany and protects the population of the stag beetle (Lucanus cervus) and its habitat, xerothermic steppe grasslands, exposed marl deposits, and the species associated with these locations.
Culture and History
A hilltop settlement and a hillfort from several prehistoric periods have been documented in the summit area of Oškobrh. The Oškobrh archaeological site also includes the location of the former Church of St Peter and Paul.
The Protestant church in Opolany was built in 1892–1893. On 8 September 1893, it was solemnly dedicated by Superintendent J. E. Szalatnay. The Protestant Reformed congregation in Opolany had already been established in 1885.
The Protestant cemetery in Opolany was established in 1899. Its gravestones have a uniform design; the cemetery of the Unity of Brethren in Herrnhut (Ochranov) in Upper Lusatia served as the model. Because of the uniform design of the graves, the cemetery was declared a national cultural monument in 1989.
Landscape along the Sánský Canal
The Sánský Canal has been preserved to this day. It flows through Opolánky and passes through Opolany, Odřepsy, Pátek, and Křečkov.
The canal was constructed around 1450 by Jiří z Kunštátu to divert water from the Cidlina to the Poděbrady ponds.
