Cycling day trip from Ústí nad Labem to Mělník

Your cycling journey kicks off in Ústí nad Labem, a charming city on the banks of the Elbe River. Known for its stunning natural landscapes and historic architecture, it's a perfect spot to warm up those cycling muscles before hitting the road.

From Ústí, you'll embark on a scenic ride toward Mělník, covering roughly 78 kilometers. The route takes you through a mix of cycleways and peaceful roads, offering a great balance between nature and infrastructure really. Pack those energy bars because you'll be tackling around 481 meters of ascent, but don’t worry; the descent is pretty sweet too, almost 420 meters of it to enjoy!

Keep your eyes on the road surface too—it’s mostly asphalt (58%), but you'll also encounter some gravel and paving stones here and there, adding a bit of adventure to your trip.

As you pedal along, you'll be treated to picturesque views that highlight the uniqueness of the Czech countryside. Finally, you’ll roll into Mělník, a picturesque town at the confluence of the Elbe and Vltava rivers. Known for its wine production and breathtaking castle, Mělník is the perfect destination to cap off your ride with a well-deserved glass of local vino. Cheers to a great ride!
