To Komáří hůrka along the Krušnohorská magistrála

The trip starts in Děčín.

From the Přípeř crossroads, take cycle route No. 23, which is also called the Krušnohorská magistrála or the Ore Mountains Highway.

Děčín – Sněžník – Tisá – Adolfov – Komáří hůrka – Krupka – Teplice

And it is to the Ore Mountains that this bicycle tour is heading. From Děčín, it is first a pretty steep climb, all the way to the village of Sněžník. Here, after climbing more than 450 meters, you can refresh yourself in the Švýcarský dům restaurant.

Then continue along cycle route No. 23 to Tisá, where you can stop to look at the beautiful rock town. But you can explore it only on foot and you have to lock your bicycle, perhaps at a tourist hut.

After a tour of the sandstone labyrinth, the Ore Mountains Highway will take you to the Ore Mountains. Geographically, it begins between the villages of Tisá and Petrovice. Through Krásný Les and Nakléřov, you will reach Adolfov.

Soon, the destination of the bike tour, Komáří hůrka, will appear in front of you. The 808-meter high mountain is a popular tourist destination all year round. There is a mountain hotel with a restaurant at the top and one of the oldest cable cars in the Czech Republic runs here.

Cyclists will certainly welcome the possibility of refreshments and enjoy unique views of the ridge of the Ore Mountains and the peaks of the Bohemian Central Highlands. Next is a great downhill to Krupka, which, like the landscape around Komáří hůrka, is part of the Krupka Mining Landscape.

From Krupka, it is only a short distance to the spa town of Teplice, where you can board the train back to Děčín.
