Wickwitz: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Wickwitz lies in the deep valley of the Ohře. Between river landscapes, protected habitats, and traces of history, Vojkovice reveals different facets.

Nature and water

The Ohře flows through Vojkovice. At Pískovna, visitors have the opportunity to fish; at the same time, it offers a peaceful place to relax. There, plant and animal life can be observed in its natural surroundings.

The Vojkovická lípa is a protected small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) and is around 250 years old. The Studánka pod lípou spring has provided refreshing water for decades and was renovated in 2009.

Protected landscapes

The Dubohabřina ve Vojkovicích area protects preserved Hercynian oak-hornbeam forests and dry grasslands on steep slopes above the Ohře. The Špičák u Vojkovic protected area preserves intact beech and scree forests as well as dry grasslands on steep slopes and the characteristic flora and fauna of deciduous forests. It includes areas in the cadastral territory of Vojkovice nad Ohří.

Vojkovická skála is a morphologically distinctive granulite outcrop and has geotouristic value as a geological locality. Particularly protected species found there include the barred warbler (Sylvia nisoria) and the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis). Due to the military area, the quarry, and private property, special permission is required to enter the site.

Vojkovice and Jakubov are part of the Doupovské hory bird protection area.

History and culture

The hillfort complex of Vojkovice is an important archaeological site as well as an archaeological location, fortification, and hilltop settlement. The complex, recorded as a find site, lies south of the town between the railway line and the Ohře, above the confluence of the Bystřice and the Ohře, at 370 m above sea level.

The oldest evidence of the already existing municipality of Vikvice dates from 1088.
