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
Budyně nad Ohří Castle
The golden treasure is allegedly hidden in the castle in Budyně nad Ohří as a result of work in the alchemical workshop. It has been recently restored and is a major attraction. The castle from the 13th century is surrounded by a moat and a swampy bank of the river Ohře.
The royal fortress in its Gothic form was damaged by the explosion of a powder magazine and two entire wings had to be demolished and rebuilt in Renaissance style. In the past two centuries the castle has been further modified. There is the Janda Museum with an exhibition of the tools and implements of the last executioner, as well as a price list for the acts. In the alchemists' workshop we find curves, a melting furnace and mortars of all sizes. There is also a dining room with a beautiful fireplace, sumptuous bay windows and a stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling. From the courtyard, the remains of the outer fortifications with keyed loopholes can be seen.
