This hill consists of two peaks, the upper Velký Lovoš and the lower Malý Lovoš (also called Kybička). Several hiking trails and paths lead to Lovoš. The highest point of Lovoš reaches the altitude of 570 m. The very top offers a distant view of the surroundings. At the top it is also possible to have a snack in a tourist cottage from 1924. The first cottage was opened here in 1892. The highest parts of the mountain are protected as a National Nature Reserve due to the occurrence of thermophilic flora. Lovos is a very popular tourist destination.
Thanks to the favorable climate, there have been extensive vineyards on the southern slopes of Lovoš for several centuries. The first reports of vine growing in Lovosice date back to the 13th century. Later, the vineyards in this area belonged, for example, to the Schwarzenberg family. Today, the Pod Lovoším vineyards are cultivated mainly by the Žernosecky winery s.r.o., which grows varieties such as Müller Thurgau, Riesling, Mopr, Pinot Gris, Dornfelder, Blue Portugal or Svatovavřinecké. Especially the local Müller Thurgau is rated as one of the best in the Czech wine region. Tramín from the Pod Lovoším vineyards also achieves high quality. Wines coming from these vineyards can be tasted and purchased directly at the place of their production, ie in the Žernoseky winery, which is located at the Velké Žernoseky chateau.
WHERE TO CONTINUE NOW?
The wine trail now continues along the vineyard and then towards the town of Lovosice, where the last stop on our journey is in the dock. Here you will learn interesting facts about the origin of the first sparkling wine (champagne-like wine) in northern Bohemia.
If you are just coming from Lovosice, then continue up along the vineyards to the village of Lhotka nad Labem and then to Malé Žernoseky, where you can visit the winery of St. Tomas.
