Olešná: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

The listed Novákův statek complex is situated on an old Bohemian village meadow in the landscape of the central Brdy Mountains.

History

Four lime trees stand around the local bell tower. They were planted in 1848 to commemorate the abolition of corvée labor and have been designated protected memorial trees since 2009.

In the Olešná area, there is a 1.5 km-long forest section of the disused Stroussberg Railway, which is one of the best-preserved sections of the line. Clearly recognizable depressions from sleepers have been preserved in this forest section; they prove that the line was operational between 1871 and 1875.

Hiking

Hořovicko lies between Central Bohemia and the Brdy landscape and has marked hiking and cycling trails stretching from Křivoklátsko to the Brdy peaks.

The 17 km-long hiking route „Za podbrdskými roubenkami“ leads to Olešná and its village monument zone. The route has a difficulty rating of 5/5; large sections run along unmarked paths and require good orientation in the terrain.

Rural Surroundings

The meadows around Olešná are regularly grazed, and the fields are planted with various crops each year.
