Route through the castles of the Bohemian (Milesovské) Central Highlands

A long-distance hiking trail called the Golden Trail of the Land of Castles passes through virtually the entire destination of the Bohemian Central Highlands. Discover several lesser-known castles or castle ruins in the eastern part of the Bohemian Central Highlands, also known as the Milesovské Mountains.

Route

It combines pedestrian and train - the Plum Railway.

18 km - Třebenice - Třebívlice - route here.

15 km - Třebenice - Třebílivce without a stop at Blešno and Košt'ál - route here.

Start

Litoměřice, Lovosice by train to Třebívlice, or directly in Třebívlice

Target

Trebenice; you can also start the other way around

In Třebívlice there is a classicist castle, which is used as a school, but you can also visit the exhibition of Ulrika von Levetzow - the last love of the world-famous poet J.W. Goethe. In Trebivlice you can also buy wine from the local winery Johann W.

The blue hiking trail, which is also called the Hussite Trail through the Land of Castles, will first lead you to Dřemčice, from where you can turn to the first remains of the once wooden Blešno Castle and then continue through the Orchid Meadows below Solanská hora (a natural attraction) to the ruins of Oltářík Castle. When you have had a rest and seen everything in peace, continue north from Oltářik along the blue trail and at the crossroads Děkovka join the red trail, which is also the main trail marked Golden Trail of the Land of Castles.

Through the village of Děkovka you will reach Vlastislava. Here you can visit another castle ruin - the ruins of Skalka Castle. The most distinctive remnant of the castle is the circular tower. The castle was damaged during the Thirty Years' War and instead of repairing it, a castle was built just below the castle, which you can also visit here.

From Vlastislava, continue along the red trail to the Košt'ál hill, where the ruins of Košt'ál Castle stand . On the hill you will now only see the ruins of a medieval building, but you will have a beautiful view of the surrounding landscape of the Bohemian Central Highlands. Once you have enjoyed the view, continue down the red trail to the small town of Třebenice. In Trebenice, be sure to stop at the local chocolatier for a sweet treat before you leave .

Stops

The Třebívlice winery continues the centuries-old tradition of vineyards from Litoměřice and also recalls the story of Johann Wolfgang Goethe's unfulfilled love for the Baroness Ulrika von Levetzow from Třebívlice. Apart from the wine and quality gastronomic services, you can also stay here.

If you want to taste local wine, visit the wine shop. Those who want to enjoy a celebration, corporate or private event, prepare a meal at the local restaurant, in the courtyard along with a program – wine tasting and a tour.

WINARY

The spacious winery is located right in the heart of the beautiful Central Uplands, so the visit can be combined with many other interesting trips - such as a trip to the hills Říp, Lovoš, Radobýl, the ruins of Hazmburk or Košťálov, the romantic Oltářík Castle or nearby historic towns Litoměřice and Terezín.

Come and spend a whimsical day in the modern Johann W winery, let yourself be amazed by the gastronomic experience at the local restaurant and taste the wine that was last drunk 100 years ago. It is necessary to arrange the visit in advance!
