Woleschnitz: Hotels and accommodations

Zlatá Olešnice can be explored through its landscapes, trails, and historic sites.

Nature

Zlatá Olešnice stretches along the slopes beside the Zlatník stream; the upper part lies within the Jizera Mountains Protected Landscape Area. The Zlatá Olešnice landscape character area is a foothill landscape with a relatively balanced ratio of forests and agriculturally used land, including meadows and pastures. A relatively high proportion of buildings featuring original folk architecture has also been preserved there. At 826 meters, Mount Javorník is the highest mountain in Zlatá Olešnice.

Winter Sports and Trails

Well-marked cycling routes run through Zlatá Olešnice, including the Járy Cimrman cycling route. The Zlatá Olešnice ski area lies almost in the center of the municipality and offers a 500-meter red ski slope, an easier 750-meter blue ski slope, and a 95-meter rope tow for children. The Zlatá Olešnice ski school offers ski and snowboard lessons for children and adults.

Culture and History

The small Baroque manor house of Návarov Chateau stands in the Návarov district of Zlatá Olešnice and is surrounded by an extensive park. Návarov Chateau and its park are a protected cultural monument. The ruins of Návarov Castle are the remains of a castle probably founded in the 14th century; remnants of walls and traces of cellar rooms have survived to this day.

The Roman Catholic Church of St. Martin is a protected monument of Baroque architecture and a defining landmark of Zlatá Olešnice. The Baroque church was built between 1780 and 1783 by the builder Antonín Teumer and stands on a steep slope atop a high masonry base.

The birthplace of the writer Antal Stašek in Stanový currently also houses the local library. Antal Stašek was born on July 22, 1843, in Stanový in the foothills of the Giant Mountains. The birthplace is a cultural monument with a half-timbered structure and a wooden-shingle roof. The historical hiking route “Zlatoolešnicko” begins at Návarov railway station and then follows cycling route 4248a before continuing along a green-marked hiking trail to the birthplace of the writer Antal Stašek in Stanový; the house probably dates from 1765.
