Landscape
The municipal landscape of Miskovice is gently hilly and characterised by scattered woodland. It ranges from 270 metres above sea level at the edge of the Polabí Lowland to 450 metres at the Vysoká lookout hill. Another landscape feature is the Miskovice pseudodoline area: located 0.5 to 1 kilometre north of Miskovice, it preserves the last remaining pseudokarst formations in this region.
Nature
The Rybníček u Hořan National Nature Monument is the only natural site in the Czech Republic where the critically endangered dense-leaved waterweed (Groenlandia densa) is found. At Rybníček u Hořan, entering the water and picking plants are discouraged; fish farming is prohibited there.
Culture and history
On the wooded summit of Vysoká stands the ruin of a hermitage with the Chapel of St John the Baptist dating from 1697, considered a belvedere. The ruin of the Belvedere was entered into the central register of immovable cultural monuments of the Czech Republic in May 1958.
The Miskovice tvrz has a Renaissance core dating from the late 16th century. Some original Renaissance window surrounds have been preserved at the tvrz.
The Feldekův water mill complex near Bylany includes the mill building, a statue of St John of Nepomuk, farm buildings, a barn and a stone boundary wall.
The spring of St Adalbert between Bylany and Přítoky is surrounded by a brick structure with a statue and is fed by a 180-metre-long flooded tunnel. In the past, the spring supplied all 16 fountains of Kutná Hora as well as numerous burgher houses with water.
About 50 metres north of the road between Mezholezy and Bylany stands a preserved lime kiln, connected as a technical monument with the region’s long tradition of limestone quarrying and lime processing.
The Neolithic settlement of Bylany is an important site of Czech prehistoric archaeology. Today, no traces of the prehistoric settlement are visible on the ground surface at the Bylany archaeological site.
