Hike to Bukovka for beautiful views

The more demanding bike trip starts in Děčín.

From here, take cycle route No. 2 – Labská stezka. It will lead you upstream to Těchlovice.

Děčín – Těchlovice – Buková hora – Víťova rozhledna – Verneřice – Merboltice – Starý Šachov – Děčín

At the Přední Lhota crossroads you will join the cycle route No. 3124 and you will have a 9 km long and quite demanding hike up to Bukova hora.

Over Rytířov and along nice paved forest paths, after 600 vertical metres, you will find Buková hora with the transmitter of the same name.

However, it does not serve as a lookout tower, so we recommend visiting the nearby Humboldt Lookout, which can be reached by a red hiking trail and offers a beautiful view of the Bohemian Central Highlands.

From Bukovka, drive through the local pastures to the Vít’s lookout tower near Náčkovice, which offers another very nice view.

From there, the route leads to Verneřice and then along cycle route No. 3125 through the picturesque village of Merboltice you will descend into the valley of the Ploučnice River. Back to Děčín you can take cycle route No. 15 – the Ploučnice cycle path.

In Děčín you can visit the castle, the aquapark or the beautiful viewpoint on the Shepherd’s Wall.
