Landscape
About 2 km south of Dolní Podluží lies the deeply incised valley of the Milířka between Rohál, Čertova pláň and Kozí hřbet. The Lusatian Fault runs through the central part of the valley. It forms the boundary between the Lusatian Granite Massif to the north and the sandstones of the Bohemian Cretaceous Basin to the south.

The educational mining trail in the Milířka valley begins and ends about 1 km from the Uhlířská cesta. This leads from Dolní Podluží to the saddle below Ptačinec. The Štola U Knížecí studánky, also known as Antoniho štola, is 208 m long.
Culture
The Bio Luž cinema was built in 1928–1929 and extensively renovated in 1979 and 1985. It is still in operation and shows films using Sony Digital Cinema 4K and RealD 3D.
The present-day masonry Church of St Catherine was completed in 1548. It is a distinctive landmark of Dolní Podluží and an important part of the local landscape.
The crypt was built in 1893–1894 for Paul Brass, the son of the owner of the local textile factory. It was created according to a design by the prominent Viennese architect Viktor Luntz and is a small funerary structure in a stylistically clear neo-Gothic style. In 2020, the crypt was added to the list of cultural monuments.
