The hill Na Drahách, at 647 m above sea level, offers a wide view of the surrounding area. This viewpoint is an interesting addition to a stay focused on landscapes and regional orientation.

The forests around Rohozná are suitable for picking mushrooms and bilberries. The cadastral area is also home to the protected plant vachta trojlistá, known in English as bogbean, as well as several orchid species, called vstavače in Czech. Those traveling with children can use such details of nature as an opportunity to explore the surroundings attentively and without a fixed excursion program.
