Řehlovice: Culture, Landscape and Cycling Routes

Řehlovice between Art, History and Landscape

Řehlovice combines historical sites, contemporary art and landscape experiences in a region that you can explore in different ways. If you would like to combine culture and cycling on your trip, you will find concrete starting points here, as well as opportunities for an excursion to a lookout tower or a hill steeped in legend.

The Řehlovice Cultural Centre is located on the grounds of a former manor farm that was first mentioned as early as the 14th century. The public can attend exhibitions and ceremonial openings at the former manor farm. The Czech-German art park is open to visitors and displays works by Czech and German artists. A brewery was also founded at the former manor farm in the 16th century. Historical traces and contemporary art therefore meet here directly.

The Church of the Most Holy Trinity in Řehlovice also adds to the cultural character of the place. It was probably built in 1717 on the site of an older church dedicated to Saint Nicholas. This older church probably dated from the 14th century. The Church of the Most Holy Trinity was richly furnished in 1741 and remodelled at the end of the 19th century.

Landscape and Views around Řehlovice

Volská hora is a 309-metre-high, wooded basalt hill above Stadice. A local legend is associated with it: according to the legend, Přemysl Oráč's oxen disappeared there when he unhitched them to go to Princess Libuše. This gives the landscape a narrative dimension in addition to its geological character.

A prominent viewpoint is the Radejčín lookout tower. The 30-metre-high metal tower is integrated into a mobile phone mast. It has been open to the public since 2010 and can be reached via a yellow-marked hiking trail from Dubice or from the Radejčín stop. After climbing 97 steps, the views extend across the Central Bohemian Uplands and the Ore Mountains. For your planning, you can therefore combine a specific viewpoint with a defined route.

Cyclists will also find several documented options for orientation. Cycle Route 3009 runs via Přestanov, Chlumec, Chabařovice and Stadice to Radejčín and is 36 kilometres long. Cycle Route 3071 continues to Řehlovice and then on to Trmice and Ústí nad Labem. The route also runs past Královský pramen and through Stadice along the Bílina towards Malhostice. The different route profiles and the stated length of Cycle Route 3009 help you compare cultural sites and landscape areas according to your own priorities.

Historical Traces in Stadice

The monument to Přemysl Oráč stands in Stadice. Josef Max created it in 1841; today it is a national cultural monument and is easily accessible year-round. The reliefs on the monument depict the arrival of Libuše's delegation and their arrival at Prague's Vyšehrad. For your trip planning, this site thus offers another connection to the traditions that are also associated with Volská hora.

When looking for a hotel, you can first decide whether the exhibitions and historic buildings in Řehlovice, the landscape with its lookout tower and hill, or the cycling routes should be your main focus. For further travel ideas, you can also include Ryjice, Chlumec U Chabařovic, Tašov, Tisá, Přestanov, Malé Březno Nad Labem, Stebno and Habrovany in your research.
