Teplice - in the north of Czech Republik

by globetrott

Teplice / Tepliz is an important town in the north of Czechia, and almost all the trafic to Dresden is going through this town with 53000 inhabitants.Most tourists simply pass by, but Teplice has also a few nice parks, a great castle, a casino , a few great hotels and art nouveau-facades and an important spa.My favorite area is at "Zamezke nam" - the castle-square with the castle and castle-church (on the right of my picture).In a small distance you may see "Erzgebirgstheater" a theatre, and "Urquell" - NOT a beer, But a spa with a well , where the water springs with a temperature of 42 degrees celsius.Big parts of Teplice are a bit unsafe and it is always best to be careful, where to park your car and where to take a walk. Plenty of ladies offer their services there in the streets day and night. Don't pay attention to them, and they will leave you alone...You may get to Teplice by train...

Usti nad Labem - 80 km north of Prague

by globetrott

Usti nad Labem / Aussig is an important town with 98000 inhabitants in the north of the Czech Republik. The main train-line betweeen Prague and Dresden will go through Usti nad Labem, beautifully situated at the river Elbe , called Labe in Czechia.Usti n.L. is the most important port on the river Elbe, just after Hamburg. The castle on my picture is Strekov / Schreckenstein:Strekov castle is open dailyfrom May till August : 09.00a.m.-05.00p.m.in september&October: 09.00a.m.-04.00p.m.The castle dates back to the 14th century and was used as a toll-station for the merchants transporting their goods on the river Elbe.You may get to Usti nad Labem by train or by cruise-ship. Roads in that area are a total mess : a highway is under construction and the signs of deviations sometimes keep you sending around in a circle...

Jezeri Zamek - west of Teplice

by globetrott

Jezeri Zamek may be seen already from a big distance and I found that name accidentally on a map and so I started to search for the roads to get there.It took me quite a long time and the rest of the road was through dense woods and lousy roads......simply in order to find out, that the castle is privately owned and not open to the public, and it looks best from a big distance.Plenty of watch-dogs make sure you stay outside of the fence and there is not even a place, where you may take a nice picture of that castle...The next trainstation is Litvinov and from there you have to walk about 6 km, BUT I guess, it is not worth the trouble...

Zatec / Saaz - 60km north-west of Prague

by globetrott

Zatec / Saaz is a small town in the north of Czechia, and it is the centre of hop-growing.Zatec has a nice townsquare, a medieval towngate, an old synagoge, that it under restoration at the moment and in the centre of the townsquare you see the townhall, where you may climb up the tower to have a prefect panorama-view.Just a few meters from the townhall you may see"The smallest hop-field in the world"It is just about 120 square-meters !You may also see it in the centre of my picture-combination.You may get to Zatec / Saaz by train or by road #27 from Most or Plzen / Pilsen

Ceská Kamenice - 10km east of Decin

by globetrott

Ceská Kamenice / Böhmisch Kamnitz is one of the places, that are hardly to be found in any guidebook, although it has a great townsquare with even a few wooden houses and a really beautiful monastery.Ceská Kamenice is certainly a great place for a stop-over and a perfect place for a cheap lunch or dinner, although there will be almost no restaurant with an english or german menu.A visit in Ceska Kamenice could be easily combined with Decin ( 10km to the east) and Prachen with Panska Skala ( 3km to the east)You may get to Ceska Kemenice by train or by car, when you take road #13 / E 442

Bilina - 80km north of Prague

by globetrott

Bilina is a small town in the north of the Czech Republic and I drove through it on my way from Teplice to Karlovy Vary / Karlsbad. Almost all of the area around Bilina was used for surface-mining of coal and the landscape looks mostly terrible without trees, but some of the old towns remained and were great places for a stop-over.The castle is privately owned today, but on the main-square you may still see lots of beautiful houses and prices are really cheap for shopping and restaurants.In the centre of my picture-combination you may see Boren a mountain of vulcanic origin, 539meters high.You may walk up this mountain and find a restaurant there on top.You may take the train to Bilina or drive on Road Nr. 13 / E442
