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.
Stops
The ruins of Hazmburk Castle
If Milešovka is considered to be the queen of the Central Bohemian Uplands, then Hazmburk must be considered to be the king.
The ruins of the gothic castle on a barely visible basalt hill above the Klapý region, 3,5 km NW to the town Libochovice, is an outstanding feature of the landscape of the Central Bohemian Uplands. The castle was the seat of the Zajíc family from the 14th to the 16th century. The top of the castle lies at a height of 418 m a. s. l. The lower castle is dominated by a massive oval 25 m high Black Tower made of dark basalt. It reaches a width of 9 m in diameter and has 2 m thick walls. A meter taller White tower with battlement is made from light sandstone, dominates the Upper Castle and is accessible. If you decide to visit the castle, be sure to go to the tower because from its top you will not only have a wonderful view of the town of Libochovice, but also of the entire lower Polabí and Poohří in the distance with the legendary mountain Říp and the breathtaking panorama of the Central Bohemian Uplands. When the visibility is good, you will see a transmitter station in Ještěd in the distance in the northeast, and in even better conditions, you will also see the Krkonoše Mountains behind Ještěd. You can get to Hazmburk Castle from three directions - from Libochovice, from Slatina and from the village of Klapý.
