Olšina (Ralsko)

Olšina (German: Wolschen or Wolsina) is an extinct village in Ralsko in the Česká Lípa District in the Czech Republic.

In the mid-19th century, Wolschen/Olšina became part of the judicial district of Niemes for the Habsburg Crownland of Bohemia (and later for Austria-Hungary).

This district included 26 small villages in a large wooded area east of Niemes/Mimoň.

There was a church, a water pond, a school, three inns, two shops with several craftsmen and merchants.

The village also had its own gendarmerie (sheriff), telephone connection, post office, brickyard, steam-powered sawmill and a milk dairy with a high chimney.
