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.

Length of the trip by bike: 25 km

Viewpoint Kalich – Litoměřice

The Kalich lookout tower is located in the very center of the town of Litoměřice in the so-called House under the Dome (also the Kalich House).

The goblet-shaped turret has a capacity of 12 people and there are guided tours.

The whole house dates back to the beginning of the 16th century, and in the past, one use of this unique structure is that, city council meetings took place in the tower itself. Today it serves as a tourist destination and is also a symbol of the city. There is a view of the whole town of Litoměřice and also of the surrounding area.

The Kalich Viewpoint is one of the city's most sought-after tourist attractions.
