The Zlatý potok educational trail introduces visitors to the municipality of Podbřezí’s most important historical monuments, Skalka Château and the Jewish forest cemetery. The Jewish cemetery near Skalka was founded at the end of the 17th century and contains 92 gravestones. Visitors can reach it via a footpath along the Zlatý potok; the cemetery is freely accessible.
Events
Every June, SK Skalka holds an outdoor disco and rock event with unusual competitions for visitors at the sports field.
Every year, SK Skalka organizes more than ten events with fixed dates, mainly sports tournaments for adults and children. In spring, SK Skalka traditionally hosts rock performances attended by people from Podbřezí as well as from surrounding villages and towns.
Before Easter, the club organizes the schnapps tasting “Oskalecké štamrple”, where locals taste and rate samples from their neighbours.
