The Elbe and cycle paths in the Polabská nížina

The Elbe flows through Neratovice. Its banks are suitable for walking, cycling and relaxing in nature. Neratovice lies in the heart of the Polabská nížina, a region with a flat landscape. Along the Elbe, there are level routes suitable for less experienced cyclists and pedestrians. In addition, Neratovice and its surroundings offer a dense network of cycle paths, ranging from easy rides to longer tours into nature or to historical sights.

Water, games and an active excursion

The Koupaliště in Neratovice has a newly renovated non-swimmers’ pool with numerous water attractions and a slide. In addition to swimming, it offers mini-golf, table tennis and other games; the necessary equipment can be rented. Younger children have access to a new paddling pool with interesting water features. This makes it possible to combine different activities in one place without limiting the day to just one pastime.

Discoveries about nature around Neratovice

The Lesní naučná tělocvična Neratovice comprises six stations on the edge of the Skala woodland. It is located on a green-marked hiking trail between Lobkovice and Kojetice. Each station has a QR code leading to questions about nature that change monthly. In the direction of Mělník, the Kopeč nature reserve is located near Neratovice. It protects dry-loving plant communities and rock outcrops with rare and endangered species of plants, fungi, insects, heat-loving spiders and snails.

Lobkovice and the history of František Palacký

Lobkovice served as a summer residence for the Palacký family, who found time there to relax while taking walks along the Elbe. František Palacký spent part of his life in a nearby château in Lobkovice and wrote part of his important historical work there. His tomb is also located in the grounds of the church in Lobkovice. The history of the town thus complements its nature and leisure activities with a cultural focus.
