Bicycle tour along the Elbe River - Roudnice nad Labem - Štětí

The trip starts in Roudnice nad Labem, where you can pick up a lot of valuable information at the Podřipsko Information and Transport Centre before the trip. From Roudnice, cross the bridge and continue towards Vědomice at the crossroads, following the new cycle route No. 2A. This will take you along a minor road to Kyškovice, where you will pass a nice hop farm. Follow a nice path along the Elbe to Brzánky. Right above you will be the interesting hill Sovice. It is an important archaeological site. A local hillfort probably stood here as early as the 9th century. Continue on to below the Elbe Terrace. Be sure to take your bike there, even if you have to push it. The view from the terrace is worth it. Once you have had a rest, head back down to cycle route 2A. Now the route is on a worse surface. From the lock the surface is a little better again. By then you are almost in Štětí, where you cross the Elbe again and join the main route of the Elbe Trail. This will lead you back to Roudnice nad Labem. On the way you can still stop in Račice at the Elbe Arena. In Roudnice, you can then store your bikes at the information centre and take a tour of the local castle.
