Třebušín – Kalich Castle and České středohoří Protected Landscape Area

Třebušín combines a long-standing local history with the distinctive landscape of the České středohoří. The oldest written record of the village dates from 1169. Today, historic monuments, protected nature, a long-distance hiking trail, cycling routes and Machčák Pond offer different ways to explore the surrounding area.

Kalich Castle and the History of Třebušín

A prominent historical landmark is Kalich Castle. In 1421, after conquering an earlier fortress, Jan Žižka z Trocnova had Kalich Castle built. The castle was named Kalich after the chalice. From Kalich Castle, there are views of Třebušín, Litoměřice and the Elbe lowlands. In this way, the village connects its history with a landscape experience that extends beyond its boundaries.

Church, Château and Preserved Architectural History

The parish Church of St Nicholas in Třebušín is first mentioned in 1384. It was destroyed during the Hussite Wars and restored many years later. Together with its surrounding wall and gate, the parish Church of St Nicholas is a protected cultural monument. The château in Třebušín is also a valuable local monument. Renaissance structures have been preserved in the cellar rooms and on the ground floor of the north wing.

Protected Landscape with Its Own Character

The entire municipality of Třebušín lies within the České středohoří Protected Landscape Area. The protected area is characterised by the unique relief of a young Tertiary volcanic mountain range, diverse geology, and species-rich plant life and characteristic wildlife. The Sedlo National Nature Reserve represents another aspect of protection: the entire geobiocoenosis is protected across an area of 54.3284 ha. This means that attention is directed not only to the relief of the volcanic mountain range, but also to the communities of organisms preserved within it. For nature-focused excursions, this combination offers an opportunity to perceive the landscape as an interplay of rocks, plant life and wildlife. This also provides a clear focus when choosing accommodation: Třebušín appeals equally to visitors who want to combine historical traces, landscapes and nature observation.

Hiking, Cycling and Relaxation by the Water

The Zlatá stezka Zemí hradů long-distance hiking trail passes through the Třebušín area. Several cycling routes also run through the area. For a more peaceful stay, Machčák Pond south of Třebušín offers an opportunity to relax; swimming is possible at your own risk. When planning a trip, active routes and time by the water can therefore be treated as different focuses without losing sight of the historic sights.

Travel with a Seasonal Special Feature

DÚK bus route 623 connects Bohušovice nad Ohří, Litoměřice, Třebušín, Lovečkovice and Verneřice. From 1 April to 29 October, bicycles are carried seasonally on this route; a maximum of 20 bicycles is permitted. This specific connection and the limited seasonal bicycle transport are therefore among the details that can be taken into account when planning a stay with a bicycle.
