Cycle trip to Říp on cycle route No. 3102

Cycle in the footsteps of the Great Father of Bohemia to the mythical Mount Říp. The trip is slightly over 30 km long and can be done by a moderately fit cyclist. Cycle route No. 3102 starts in Roudnice nad Labem and takes you from the Elbe Trail to the foot of Mount Říp.

Start your trip in Roudnice nad Labem, where you can get all the information you need at the Podřipsko Information and Transport Centre in Arnoštova Street. From Roudnice, follow cycle route No. 3102, which will take you to the foot of Říp to the village of Rovné. Then you will pass through a local alley and climb up to the top of Říp Mountain, which is quite steep and demanding. There is no shame in pushing it. On Říp, you can have a refreshment in a local hut, see the routunda or several viewpoints.

From Říp, continue down to Rovný and Krabčice. From there, follow the minor road to Bechlin and then to Horní Počapel, where you will join the Elbe Trail. Follow the water through Hněvice, Račice, Záluží and Dobříně back to Roudnice nad Labem.

Říp mountain

A mountain rising from afar to a height of 456 m above sea level with a Romanesque rotunda at the top. The legend of the arrival of the Czech ancestor is related to Mount Říp. This has been one of the basic symbols of the Czech nation. From the top there are beautiful views of the Central Bohemian Uplands or the deep woods of the Kokořín region.

The Říp Mountain (456 metres above the sea level) stands out of the Central Labe Lowland 5 kilometres south of Roudnice nad Labem.

On its top, there is the rotunda of St. Geogre and St. Vojtěch. Inside, you can see the statue of St. George and The Dragon. Several marked trails go up to the top of the mountain. From the viewpoints on the top of the hill, for example Mělník, Prague, or Roudnice Viewpoint, you can see panoramic views of distant places like the Central Bohemian Uplands or the deep woods of the Kokořín Region. In 1907, a tourist cabin was built next to the rotund. You can still stop and get some refreshments there.
