Popice - Church of St. Sigismund from the 2nd half of the 13th century, rebuilt as baroque in the 17th century, narrow cellared streets. Karel Postl, a writer famous under the pseudonym Charles Sealsfield, was born in the village. His family house, with a memorial plaque, is located next to the parsonage. In the vicinity of the village is a protected territory of a steppe character - Popické kopečky, Na Suchém vrchu (Pustém kopci) (Popice Hill, On the Dry Peak (Desolation Hill)), along the green markings is a nature preserve, a rich locale for thermophilic flowers.
