Take the Central Bohemian Uplands Nostalgic Train to Třebenice to see Czech garnets
Trip on the route Lovosice - Třebenice - Hazmburk - Libochovice - Budyně nad Ohří - Roudnice nad Labem
This unique trip to see the beautiful Czech garnets begins at a stop of the Central Bohemian Uplands Nostalgic Train in Lovosice, from where you can ride a bike to Třebenice. Here, in addition to the Czech garnets, you can also admire an exhibition of castles in the Central Bohemian Uplands. The local chocolate factory with various types of chocolate will certainly be an attractive destination specially for children. After visiting Třebenice, you can set off on a red tourist route through Klapý to Hazmburk Castle. Then you continue and follow the red route to Libochovice. There you visit its greatest attraction – the local castle. Here you can end your trip and return on your own back to Lovosice via Chotěšov, Vrbičany and Siřejovice (approximately 15 km), or continue to Budyně nad Ohří, for example, to the water castle. From there you return to Lovosice to the starting point of the trip through Písty, Doksany, and Lukavec (approximately 20 km).
When the season ends, when the Central Bohemian Uplands Nostalgic Train (T4) does not operate, we use regular train or bus connections.

The third largest Bohemian garnet weighing 2,642 g is to be seen in the museum. Visitors can not only see the Bohemian garnets, but also collect them directly in front of the museum or in the imported garnet sand.
Those interested in castles of the Central Bohemian Uplands will surely be delighted to hear that since 2014 there has been a permanent exhibition of the castles of the Central Bohemian Uplands, located in the building of the Museum of the Bohemian garnet in Třebenice.
The basis of this exposition are Czech - German information banners prepared for most localities of the Central Uplands "castle country", which provide an attractive form of interesting information verified by the latest scientific research on the castles. An attractive feature of the exposition are virtual 3D models of castles, which capture them in their current and reconstructed state, and which are gradually added to the exhibition due to the extraordinary complexity of the work.
