Polabské trails for wine and knowledge
Due to the location of the Litoměřice and Mělník wine sub-region, the Polabská Trail was created to connect the possibilities of tourism attractions.

There are several information boards along the route, which provide visitors with information about attractive tourist destinations near the route. While travelling along this trail, it is possible to visit several wineries and taste wines from both wine sub-regions of Bohemia.
Stops
Hoštka - chests of drawers
Part of the fertile Polabska lowland on the edge of the Bohemian Central Highlands.
The village has 3 other parts - Kochovice, Malešov, Velešice. Hoštka was granted the status of a town in 2006. At present there are approximately 1700 inhabitants.
The foundation is not clear, the first written document dates back to 1266. In the Middle Ages, Hoštka was the seat of a large number of inhabitants - its importance is also evidenced by the 14th century throat law. During the Thirty Years' War the village was badly damaged.
The Obrtka stream flows through Hoštka and flows directly into the Elbe. Like the entire Litoměřice district, the territory of this town belongs to agricultural areas with a high proportion of agricultural land and a low percentage of forestation without significant vertical division. There are several marked horse trails in the vicinity of Hoštka, which are connected to the national and European network. A facility for tourists on horse trails, including stables, called Ježkův Mlýn, has been developed as a private initiative. This initiative is constantly developing.
