Love riding forest trails? This is the ride for you. From Litoměřice take the Elbe Cycle Route through the pretty Porta Bohemica valley to Libochovany and then get on cycle route 3057. The trail climbs from the riverside up into the hills of the Central Bohemian Uplands to an altitude of over 560 m above sea level. Along the way, you can stop at the Calvary for a beautiful view of the Three Crosses or in the village of Kamýk with its castle ruins. Also on the route are the ice pits at Plešivec and a sea of stone (leave your bike behind to walk up to the viewpoint). Continue on through Hlinná and the pass below Varhošť (there is an optional turnoff for the outlook). Then ride through Ovčárna and down to Ploskovice, where you can visit the chateau and grounds and have a bite to eat at Café Páv. Return from Ploskovice to Litoměřice on cycle route 3066.
