Nature and protected habitats

A notable natural landmark is the Vojkovická lípa, a protected small-leaved lime (Tilia cordata Mill.) that is approximately 250 years old. The Studánka pod lípou spring has provided refreshing water for decades and was renovated in 2009.

Vojkovická skála is a morphologically distinctive granulite outcrop and has geotourism value as a geological locality. Particularly protected species at Vojkovická skála include the barred warbler (Sylvia nisoria) and the sand lizard (Lacerta agilis). Special permission is required to enter because of the military area, quarry, and private property.

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 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. Vojkovice and Jakubov also belong to the Doupovské hory bird protection area.
