Cycle trip on the route Ústí nad Labem - Litoměřice - by bike there and by boat back
Set off from Ústí nad Labem to the royal city of Litoměřice by bike along the Elbe Trail and use the boat line for the return journey.
From Ústí nad Labem, we recommend starting in the morning or early afternoon. The Elbe Trail will take you about 25 km. You will pass under the Střekov Castle, through the beautiful Porta Bohemica valley and past the Žernosec vineyards. It is about an hour and a half to Litoměřice and the trip is also suitable for families with children. Just watch out for the rough terrain in Sebuzín and near Žalhostice. In Litoměřice, you can park your bicycle in the bike garage and go sightseeing in the historic town. Visit the Kalich lookout, Dome Square with St. Stephen's Cathedral or buy some delicious local wine in the wine tavern on the square. In summer, you can also take advantage of the Church Sightseeing Tour. You can have lunch at the Bishop's Brewery at St. Stephen's or at the Town Hall Cellar. And then hurry to the dock on Strelecky Island. Boat line 91 departs at 14:30. A pleasant cruise with a beautiful view and refreshments on board takes just over two hours.
This trip is only possible in the months when the boat line is running (i.e. usually from the end of March to November). More info about the boat line.

The regional town of Ústí nad Labem offers several interesting tourist destinations. Among other things, it is called the "city of waterfalls" - there are countless in its vicinity.
Ústí nad Labem town is situated in a beautiful countryside of a Labe valley in the north of the Czech Republic. It is in the heart of the Central Bohemian Uplands Protected Landscape Area and its famous valley called Porta Bohemica (or: The Gate to Bohemia).
Because of the good transport connections, the town is a natural starting point of trips to the region of Labe Sandstone Rocks, to the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, and to Krušné Hory Mountain Range.

Its tower is deflected by 2 metres from the vertical axis!
