Bicycle trip to Vít's lookout tower and Bukovka
The bicycle trip to Vít's lookout tower and Beech Mountain can be taken from several places. Nice cycling routes and unique views await you.
More demanding variants of the bike tour
The more demanding variant of this bike tour starts in Děčín or Ústí nad Labem. In both variants, the route leads first along the Elbe cycle route, specifically to Těchlovice at the Přední Lhota crossroads.From the crossroads, continue along cycle route No. 3124 and you will have a rather demanding hike up Bukova hora via Rytířov. Nice forest asphalts will lead you after 600 vertical metres to the Buková hora transmitter. However, it does not serve as a lookout tower, so we recommend visiting the nearby Humboldt Lookout, which is reached by a red hiking trail and offers a beautiful view of the Bohemian Central Highlands. From Bukovka we recommend continuing through the pastures to the Vít's lookout tower near Náčkovice, which offers another very nice view. From here, the route leads to Verneřice and then along cycle route 3125 through the picturesque village of Merboltice to the valley of the Ploučnice River. Cycle route No. 15 - the Ploučnice cycle path - will lead you back to Děčín. In Děčín you can visit the castle, the aquapark or the beautiful viewpoint on the Shepherd's Wall. If you continue to Ústí nad Labem, you will have another 25 km along the Elbe cycle route. If the trip is already too long for you, you can use the train connection and return to Ústí by train.
