Lake Milada bike rides
Lake Milada offers a number of routes and round trips for cyclists.
Lake Milada is a stone’s throw from Ústí nad Labem and, besides fun in the water, it also offers a number of nice bike trails. Long-distance cycle route 66 runs past its shores heading for destinations like Teplice, Bílina, and Lake Most. There are also three local loops:
- Otovice trail – green trail markings, 10 km on mostly natural surface
- Tuchomyšl trail – red trail markings, 9 km on asphalt, also suitable for inline skating and people riding with small children
- Vyklice trail – blue trail markings, 8.5 km at the water’s edge on a gravel surface, runs along the beach
It is also possible to use the adjacent classic cycling routes and extend your cycling trip, for example, through Chabařovice to Chlumec and Krupka on CT 3009 or along the same route in the other direction through Roudníky and Habří and further along other cycling routes to Stadice.
Lake Milada is perfect for family bike trips. However, the roads and infrastructure leading to it are not quite ready for cyclists yet. It’s better to load the kids into the car, strap your bikes on top, and drive to the lake to explore the trails.
Stops

Lake Milada – Chabařovice
The lake was created in a mining pit of a former lignite mine. It is located near Ústí nad Labem. The filling started in 2001 from the nearby Kateřina reservoir and its filling lasted until 2010.
Milada is one of the largest lakes in the Czech Republic with its area of 252 ha. The water in the lake is very clean and the view depth reaches up to eleven meters, thanks to which various species of fish have been caught here. Around the lake we find a lot of interesting and protected animals and plants.
The lake is used mainly for recreational and sports purposes
- running
- tourism
- swimming and water sports such as paddleboarding, canoeing
- cycling or inline skating (inline track - asphalt road - goes around the middle of the lake and still is under construction)
In 2006, the cycle path No. 3009 was put into operation here, which leads through the area of the outer quarry dump, with a connection to Habří and Řehlovice. In the summer months, it is possible to enjoy several water sports
Services
