History and Culture

The stone Oborská hájovna in the valley of the Sklářský potok was already standing around 1650 and belonged to a game enclosure established by Jan Filip Husmann. From Obora, the Oborská hájovna can be reached via a blue-marked hiking route. A particularly extensive network of preserved hollow-way traces of the Zlatá cesta leads from the hamlet of Hruškovna near Zadní Milíře down into the valley to the Oborská hájovna. Near Obora u Tachova there is also a medieval country road dating from the 12th to the 16th century.

In the regional surroundings of Obora, the Chapel of Saint Anne at Pavlova Huť was rebuilt in 2017 on the foundations of a chapel erected in 1935. The settlement of Pavlova Huť was located on the Sklářský potok; the glassworks that gave it its name was founded around 1743 by Baltazar and Michael Fuchs. The Flossenbürg concentration camp historical site lies in the wider regional surroundings of Obora.
