Ohařice brings together a clearly located cultural monument, historical references and landscapes. The Chapel of the Holy Trinity lies southwest of the village, at the cemetery on the road to Michalovy Hory; it is listed as an immovable cultural monument. The geological site of Dubolka and equestrian tourism also offer perspectives of their own. This allows you to tailor a visit to different interests: a single building, local history or a route through the landscape. The I/16 also runs along a section between Samšina and Ohařice.

History and Cultural Monument

Ohařice has been known since 1376; the village is mentioned in the land tables in 1542. Since the 16th century, Ohařice belonged to Veliš. These three details represent different historical points of reference: 1376 is the earliest year mentioned, 1542 is a later reference in the land tables, and the association with Veliš describes a historical affiliation dating from the 16th century. In addition, Ohařice was founded in an open landscape unprotected to the northwest. This adds a spatial perspective to the village’s history alongside its chronological references. The chapel is a tangible cultural landmark, while the dates and affiliation provide a longer view of Ohařice’s past.

Equestrian Tourism and Regional Routes

A municipal visitor information publication from 2020 lists Ohařice as part of a long-distance riding trail that starts in Vienna. If you are planning to follow this route as a specific trip today, check it in advance. Equestrian tourism along the trail is described as a journey through nature with encounters with local residents and other tourists. The regional riding trails are also intended to make it possible to visit historical monuments and other sights in the region. The route information thus presents two perspectives side by side: travelling through nature and meeting people, and the intended visits to cultural sites. This combination gives the equestrian theme both a landscape and a cultural focus.

Dubolka and the Terrain

Dubolka lies 500 to 700 m southwest of Ohařice, in fields south of the Jičín–Sobotka road. The geological site is more than 250 m from this road; a walkable tourist trail leads there from the road. The two distance figures refer to different starting points: 500 to 700 m describes its location in relation to Ohařice, while more than 250 m is the distance from the road. Local conditions may change, so check the route conditions before your visit. The chapel is also southwest of Ohařice, but at the cemetery on the road to Michalovy Hory. The shared compass direction locates both places, while their respective road references distinguish their exact locations. The I/16 also runs along a section between Samšina and Ohařice, adding a reference between these two places to the road directions.
