Ascent to Bořeň
Underappreciated our seventh wonder of the world
Bořeň (539 m above sea level) is located on the edge of the PLA České středohoří and is very isolated, which isolates it from the beauty of this region and is one of the reasons why it is such a magnificent hill. continue reading
Balloon flight over the Bohemian Central Highlands
The Bohemian Central Mountains from a bird's eye view
A very nice experience that you can experience in the Bohemian Central Highlands is a balloon flight. It is most often flown in its central part around Terezín, Litoměřice and the Elbe canyon. With good visibility, you can see dozens of kilometers around. The actual flight takes about an hour, but with the preparation of the balloon and the transport to the take-off and landing place, expect around three hours at least. It is ideal to fly in autumn, when the surrounding forests are beautifully colored continue reading
By bike to Milešovka and Ostrý
Plus the ruins of Kostomlaty castle
Conquering the highest peak of the Bohemian Central Mountains by bike is a great challenge. The elevation gain is not extreme, but the last section below the summit is difficult for an ordinary cyclist to navigate, even impassable. In addition to good condition, it is necessary to have experience with riding in more demanding terrain and to have a reliable mountain bike in perfect condition. It is also possible to connect with Milešovka overcoming the nearby Ostrý and possibly also the ruins of the Kostomlaty castle. continue reading

At the foot of the Bohemian Central Mountains
The ruins of Hazemburk Castle, which is very recognizable from a distance, are located at the foot of the Bohemian Central Mountains. The dominant position of the castle is provided by its location at the top of the Hazmburk basalt massif, which reaches a height of 418 m. This impregnable Gothic castle consists of the Black and White Towers. You will get up by a short walk upwards and count on the entrance fee for entry. continue reading
By bike to Lovoš and several ruins
A small circuit through the Bohemian Central Mountains
The Czech Central Highlands are full of distinctive hills, the tops of which clearly attract to conquer. This article can be a little inspiration on how to conquer five of them by bike (and partly on foot) in one day, as well as visit four ruins. The circuit is not very long, about 41 km with an elevation gain of 1,100 – 1,200 meters, but since it pays to stay at each peak for a while, expect a time of about 7 hours. The route can be completed on a trekking bike, but in some sections there is a better mountain. continue reading
Walk to Boreč and Holý vrch
Or less known places in the Bohemian Central Mountains
Boreč Hill is not distinguished by its height or breathtaking views, but above all by its uniqueness. This National Natural Monument excels in its climate, as the air is warmer than the surroundings. The mystery of what happens inside the hill was explained in 1881 by the Prague university professor Jan Krejčí – Boreč is actually a hollow mountain, interwoven with a complex fissure labyrinth. In the lower part, the hill sucks in cold air, inside it heats up and at the top the air comes out warmer up to 16 ° C compared to the surroundings. continue reading
