Pertoltice Pod Ralskem

Pertoltice Pod Ralskem combines marked hiking trails, protected landscapes and small cultural monuments into a destination with diverse facets. Those who want to combine nature experiences and historical discoveries during their stay will find specific points of interest here: trails lead through the municipality and connect several places, while chapels, a restored Marian column and notable landscape features form destinations in their own right.

Hiking trails between Vranov, Pertoltice Pod Ralskem and Zákupy

An established hiking route connects Vranov, Pertoltice Pod Ralskem and Zákupy. This provides a route that links several places together in a single hike. Another marked yellow hiking trail runs through the municipality of Vranov from Srní Potok to the railway station. The two documented routes differ in that one connects several places, while the other follows a stream to a railway station.

The landscape itself is also an important part of the experience. In the municipality of Pertoltice Pod Ralskem, the Natura 2000 site EVL Horní Ploučnice includes the course of the Ploučnice and Panenský potok rivers and the surrounding area. The area of Strážný vrch also includes the specially protected Natura 2000 site EVL Horní Ploučnice. Animal and plant species as well as types of natural habitats are protected there. The protected areas give a stay a clear connection with nature without limiting the destination to a single type of excursion.

Special Landscape Destinations

Below Strážný vrch, Jeskyně Pekárnička lies in a meadow; it is a small niche cave in a red sandstone rock. The cave continues to be used for picnics, combining a striking geological formation with a simple opportunity to take a break along the way. Another distinctive natural destination is a protected broad-leaved lime tree on the road from Mimoň to Brniště. Its trunk circumference is 620 cm, it is 16 m tall and has a 10 m wide crown. These precise measurements make the tree an especially vivid destination for anyone who wants to notice extraordinary natural monuments along their routes as well.

Chapel and Historical Signs

The Chapel of Saint Procopius is open to the public and offers a peaceful place for reflection. It was renovated after 1990, during which the roof, exterior plaster and interior furnishings were renewed. This small building therefore reveals both its religious significance and its subsequent restoration.

The column with the statue of the Immaculata is also among the historical landmarks of the village. It was erected in 1720 at the expense of the farmer Michael Ullrich. In 2009, the column was restored and the statue of the Virgin Mary was placed back on it. The column is freely accessible, making it a convenient cultural stopping point during a stay.

Orientation for Your Stay

The tourist centre is open to visitors every year from 1 May to 30 September. This seasonal information is a specific reference point for travel planning. When choosing accommodation, you can therefore consider whether you would like to combine your stay mainly with the hiking connections, the protected landscapes or the cultural destinations around the chapel and Marian column. Pertoltice Pod Ralskem offers several themes without requiring them to be combined into a single itinerary.
