Where to go and where to take a break?

In Libochovice, the Libochovice chateau is worth a visit. Then it is possible to stop and refresh yourself in the Dvůr Perlová Voda homestead. The route continues to the town of Budyně nad Ohří, where there is a historic water castle (castle surrounded by water) from the 13th century. From Budyně, the route then continues along road No. 118 to Doksan. In Doksany you can visit the monastery and the castle. The monastery complex is divided into 4 courtyards and is dominated by the parish church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary. Behind the Baroque gate you will find a plague column, a sculpture of the Virgin Mary and a crypt. Behind the village Doksany, the route is again separated from the road and goes through the village Brozany nad Ohří, where it is possible to stop and visit the fortress of Brozan. The fortress was destroyed several times, but it is reconstructed now and you will find the coats of arms of all the owners of the fortress. They are painted on the walls. For the time being, when you leave the village you will go on a road to Bohušovice nad Ohří. Bohušovice is known mainly because that ancient archeological finds have been excavated here, such as pottery from the late Stone Age and skeletal graves from the Roman period. After Bohušovice you will already be arriving in Terezín. The city was founded at the end of the 18th century as a military fortress. It offers very interesting sights that are worth visiting. We will learn all about the local fortress in the visitor center in Retranechement 5, where it is possible to arrange tours of the fortress's underground. Another tourist destination in Terezín is the so called Small Fortress, where we commemorate the sad events, which took place here during the Second World War. From Terezín, the route leads us through the Litoměřice golf course, where Ohře flows into Elbe. Litoměřice is a royal town and you can find the baroque cathedral of St. Štěpán, Kalich viewpoint or a castle with an exposition about viticulture. If we want to see the city, we can park our bikes in the new bike tower at the bus station. Behind the Tyrš Bridge in Litoměřice, the Ohře bike path connects to the Elbe Trail and ends here.
