Bicycle trip to Vít's lookout tower and Bukovka

The cyclobus and pedestrian bus to the Bohemian Central Highlands will take you from Litoměřice or Roudnice to higher places in the Bohemian Central Highlands, which you can then explore comfortably by bike.

A special bus line for cyclists - Cyclobus and pedestrians to the Bohemian Central Highlands runs on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 May 2021 to 5 September 2021. Take advantage of this connection and get to know the higher places of the Bohemian Central Highlands by bike. Capacity is limited, so you can reserve your seat. Here you can find the timetable , booking form and other details.

Get on the cyclobus in Roudnice nad Labem or Litoměřice. The cyclobus will take you to the village of Mukařov near Lovečkovice. From there, head to the nearby Vít'ov Lookout Tower, which offers a beautiful view of Ještěd. The lookout tower is open from April to October from Friday to Sunday, always from 9 am to 5 pm. After you have enjoyed the view, continue on to the Buková hora transmitter. You can try the path through the pastures or go around by road via Verneřice and Příbram. The Buková hora transmitter is the highest concrete structure in the Czech Republic and is more than 220 metres high. Unfortunately, it does not serve as a tower. But visit the nearby Humboldt Lookout. It will offer you a nice view of the Elbe River valley or towards Milešovka. From Bukovka, take a nice asphalt road through the forest to the Elbe. First, follow the red hiking trail. It turns left after about 2 km. But you stick to the asphalt road and continue straight on to Rytířov and then to Těchlovice.

In Těchlovice you will join the Elbe Trail, which you can follow upstream to Malé Březno and then via Ústí nad Labem to Litoměřice or Roudnice.

Length of trip:

  • To Litoměřice - 56 km, ascent 268 m, descent 686 m
  • To Roudnice - 75 km, ascent 300 m, descent 711 m

Velké Březno Chateau

The chateau is located in the village of Velké Březno, 8 km east of the center of Ústí nad Labem.

Velké Březno Chateau was built in 1843-1845 for the highest burgrave of the Czech Kingdom – Sir Karel Chotek – in the style of late Austrian Empire. It was rebuilt later in the style of romantic Neo-Renaissance. Žofie Chotková, the granddaughter of the chateau founder, also lived here. As the wife of the successor to the Habsburg throne Franz Ferdinand d'Este, she was shot dead with her husband during the Sarajevo assassination which lead to the World War I. 
The chateau is surrounded by beautiful Englihs landscape park with many rare trees and bushes. The interesting thing is that there is one more chateau in Velké Březno, that was built in the 16th century, and it is sometimes referred to as the older chateau or – thanks to its position – the downhill chateau. Currently, this old mansion is used as a home for seniors.
