Oškobrh, Natural monument in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.

The Oškobrh hill rises 287 meters above sea level and extends across multiple municipalities, including Opolany, Odřepsy, and Dobšice u Žehuně.

Archaeological excavations revealed foundations of medieval churches and defensive fortifications from the Hallstatt and La Tène periods on the summit.

Research conducted in 1974 uncovered burial grounds containing 302 graves and numerous artifacts belonging to the Bylanská culture of the late Iron Age.

The protected area contains a mouflon breeding ground that remains closed to visitors, while marked hiking trails circle the perimeter of the hill.

The name Oškobrh evolved from the Celtic word askdum, indicating the long-standing presence of ancient civilizations in this geographical location.
