A trip to a picturesque town
Úštěk lies on the border of two beautiful areas of the Czech Republic – the Bohemian Central Mountains and the Kokořín region. The city center itself is picturesque, but quite small, so you can walk through it in half an hour. Therefore, it is worth extending this trip on the Calvary in Ostrá on the lookout hill of the same name.
