Dolánky nad Ohří – Cultural Monuments on the Ohře

Dolánky nad Ohří lies in a hollow on the banks of the Ohře, about 5 km south of Terezín. Those who enjoy discovering a place through specific details will find sacred architecture, historic landmarks and a river landscape with several spatial dimensions here.

For your travel planning, these different themes can be considered side by side: cultural monuments are located directly in the village, while natural and landscape destinations extend into the wider surrounding region.
