In Klamoš and its district of Štít, historic memorials and distinctive landscape features shape the character of the area. There is also the Homolák pond and a cycle route that runs through Klamoš. When planning a stay, you can focus on local history, tree and waterside landscapes, or cycling according to your interests.
Local History in Klamoš and Štít
In the centre of Klamoš, near the fire station, there is a stone cross bearing the body of Christ. The memorial to the victims of the Second World War stands by the municipal office. Both memorials are in the centre, but each has a different emphasis: the cross depicts Christ, while the memorial commemorates the victims of the war.
South of the Homolák pond, in the Klamoš district, stands the Smírčí kámen (Reconciliation Stone). This stone memorial dates from 1713 and is designated as a cultural heritage site of local importance. The Boží muka (Wayside Shrine) are also part of local history: they were erected in the village centre in 1852, after the abolition of the corvée in 1849 freed the people. These dates give the memorials a specific historical context.
A wooden bell tower stands in the centre of Štít. The Myslivna, house number 19, is designated as a cultural heritage site of local importance. The municipal building also houses the Minimuzeum Sovův koutek, dedicated to the poet Antonín Sova. The named cultural sites thus range from a bell tower and a designated historic building to a museum dedicated to a poet.
Memorial Trees and Waterside Landscapes
The protected Klamošská lípa (Klamoš Lime Tree) is a small-leaved lime southeast of Klamoš, beyond the village, on the road to Přepych. Its trunk circumference is 400 cm and its height is 20 m. Another protected memorial tree stands south of the built-up area of Štít, in a forest complex: the Sovův dub (Sova’s Oak). This English oak has a trunk circumference of 549 cm and is 25.1 m tall. According to the stated measurements, the Sovův dub is both taller and wider in circumference; the trees also differ in location.
The Homolák pond lies within the built-up area of Klamoš and covers 0.64 ha. The Smírčí kámen is located to its south, making the pond a specific reference point for this historic monument. The landscape also includes Jezero Štít (Štít Lake), part of the Štít fishing grounds. The grounds comprise three interconnected lakes with a total area of 62 ha and lie between Pamětník and Štít, near Chlumec nad Cidlinou.
Another landscape feature is the regional ecological network centre RBC 1754 Klamošsko. It lies in a forest complex in the Klamoš cadastral area, on the NRBK K71 MH. The landscape therefore includes both individual protected trees and a regional ecological network area.
Cycling and Local Amenities
The Chlumecký okruh cycle route from Břehy runs through Klamoš. This is a specific cycling option to consider when planning a trip, though no particular route length or difficulty is specified. Klamoš also has permanently designated areas for football, multi-purpose use, and a children’s playground. These amenities complement the historical and landscape features with opportunities for sport and play.
The nearby I/36 road connects Klamoš to the D11 motorway. The road is not directly within the Klamoš area, but in its immediate vicinity. If you are planning to arrive by car, this distinction is useful: access to the D11 is via the nearby I/36, not via a road within the Klamoš area.
