Cycle trip on the route Ústí nad Labem - Litoměřice - by bike there and by boat back

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 Litoměřice Castle with its winery exhibition is a former Gothic castle and is rightly considered the pearl of the royal town of Litoměřice. The heart of the castle, dating back to the 13th century, is a modern exposition dedicated to winemaking.
Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, protected in the town's conservation reserve, declared in 1978, will remind you of the historical glory of royal Litoměřice as mute witnesses. Of the 256 buildings, 104 are listed on the state list of immovable cultural monuments and almost all of them can be found in the historic city centre, which is largely bounded by preserved Gothic fortifications.
Houses around the square, historical cellars, many churches, a museum, several galleries and many other attractions are waiting for your interest and your visit.

TIP

Take a walk through the castle parks - here you will find not only peace and quiet, but also a beautiful view of the old Litoměřice with the Dómský hill or the panorama of the Bohemian Central Highlands with Hazmburk and the memorable Říp mountain.

However, Litoměřice is not only a city rich in history, but also a city alive with culture and sport. Visitors will find galleries, museums, theatre and cinema, various sports facilities, swimming pools and golf courses. The exhibition centre hosts a number of exhibitions throughout the year, the most visited of which is the Garden of Bohemia in autumn .
