Cycle trip to the chateaux of the Bohemian Central Uplands - cycle route No. 3066
The medium-long trip will take you to two beautiful castles and also to the hills and nature of the Bohemian Central Highlands. The trip is 57 km long and can be done even by a moderately fit cyclist.
Start this trip in Ústí nad Labem, following the Elbe cycle route to Velké Březno for a stop at the chateau. While you’re here, take a tour and admire the grounds. Then it’s back on your bike and off on cycle route 3066 for a steady climb of about 7 km. You will pass through several villages to reach the highest point of the trip and then enjoy the descent to Ploskovice, where another beautiful chateau awaits. Have a look inside and don’t forget to explore the gardens and the unique underground grottos. You can also take a break at Café Páv. From Ploskovice, it’s only a short ride to Litoměřice, where you can leave your bike in the bike tower and hit the old town center. For the ride back, follow the Elbe Trail downstream, through the Porta Bohemica valley to Ústí nad Labem, where Střekov Castle awaits.

Stops
Třebušín
Today, a large village with a dominant Baroque church and chateau lies on a sloped terrain in a dinamic landscape of wooded hills at the foot of Mount Kalich with the ruins of Jan Žižka Castle.
In numerous alleys around the sloped village square, a relatively large number of ground-floor and multi-storey buildings with timbered and half-timbered elements have been preserved, in some cases even with a decorative pedestal or porch. There are also brick residential and farm buildings, which illustrate the character of the village with a previously rich agricultural background.
Třebušín is a very old municipality: already in 1169, Bleh from Třebušín ruled here - on the now completely extinct fortress.
Later, Třebušín belonged to the Johannites, the Býčkovice Command of the Teutonic Knights, the Vartemberks, the Dubanskýs of Dubany and the Hostákovskys of Arklebice, who built a fortress here, later rebuilt into a chateau. However, the history of the village is above all undoubtedly linked with the Hussite military leader Jan Žižka, who even built his castle Kalich on the hill above Třebušín. The locals commemorate the Hussite tradition every year at the beginning of July, when the "Hussite festivities" are held in Třebušín.
