Name
editThe name Obolno follows an adjectival declension (gen Obolnega, loc na Obolnem).[2] It is believed to derive from Common Slavic *abolьnъ 'apple', referring to the local vegetation.[3][4] In the local dialect, the name is pronounced abau̯nə̏ (gen abúnəga, loc na abúnəm).[3][4]
Cultural heritage
editA small roadside chapel-shrine in the settlement dates to the early 20th century.[6]
