Boháňka lies at the foot of Chlumský vrch. Alongside the landscape, outdoor sculptures and historic stone markers shape the village. Views extend north to Zvičina and, beyond it, to the Krkonoše Mountains. Its cultural heritage includes the Jan Hus Memorial, dating from 1915 and based on a design by František Bílek, historic crosses, and a wayside shrine usually dated to the 16th century.

Outdoor Sculptures

The Boháňka outdoor sculpture exhibition consists of works carved from hard sandstone from the KUKS quarry. The material offers an additional way to view the sculptures: alongside their forms, visitors can also consider the stone itself. The exhibition is part of the international Cesta kamene trail.

The gallery of the student outdoor sculpture symposium is also a tourist stop in Boháňka. Together with the outdoor sculpture exhibition, it highlights sculpture as a recurring cultural theme in the village. The Boháňka–Skála summer cinema is located in a natural amphitheatre, and its programme is seasonal. This makes the cinema setting quite different from the outdoor sculptures: here, the amphitheatre sets the scene, while there, the sculptures take centre stage. When planning a visit, it is therefore important to bear in mind the seasonal schedule of the cinema programme.

Memorials and Stone Markers

The Jan Hus Memorial dates from 1915 and was created based on a design by František Bílek. An old stone cross stands at a crossroads near the Boháňka school building.

A historic cross stone is considered a Cyril and Methodius cross; the year 830 is visible on its front. In the forest northeast of Boháňka stands one of two roughly carved crosses traditionally known as reconciliation crosses. The Třebovětický Rondel is a protected monument and is protected by law; it lies about 300 metres from the village of Skála.

A wayside shrine stands at a crossroads on the routes between Chloumek, Maňovice and Skála. It is usually dated to the 16th century.

Landscape and Trails

Hiking and cycling routes pass through Boháňka. The outdoor sculpture exhibition lies on a yellow-marked hiking trail and is also part of the international Cesta kamene trail. The route descriptions cover different areas: the hiking and cycling routes pass through the village, while the yellow marking refers to the hiking trail by the exhibition.

The landscape also offers a point of reference: from Boháňka, views extend north to Zvičina and, beyond it, to the Krkonoše Mountains. Together with its location at the foot of Chlumský vrch, this gives a clear picture of the surrounding area, distinct from the individual memorial and art themes.
