Points of interest along the route

  1. Point of interest after 2.9 km

    Střekov steam water plant The steam water plant was built in 1874 on the occasion of the commissioning of the section of the Austrian North-West Railway from Lysá nad Labem to Ústí nad Labem - Střekov and Děčín. It was used to pump fluid into the water pumps that powered the steam locomotives. Water was brought in from the nearby Elbe River through a specially dug tunnel. The water plant was built according to the design of the architect Carl Schlimp. In the central part there are reservoirs with a volume of 100 m³. There are apartments for employees in the side tracts. It is protected together with the cistern as a cultural monument

    Hradiště Hrádek Iimposing (550 meter long) north-eastern double defensive wall of the castle on Hrádek Hill on the way from Kamýk to Kalvária. The fortification in the eastern part was damaged by agricultural activity and was originally a hundred meters longer. The ramparts were probably built by simply piling up dirt and stones. The trenches were twelve meters wide, and the outer ones were divided at regular intervals by transverse walls, which were supposed to prevent potential attackers from moving freely through the trench. The elevation of the inner rampart above the bottom of the ditch still reaches thirteen meters. The exact dating of the fort is not entirely clear, according to the collections it dates back to the Lusatian culture, Hallstatt and the early Middle Ages (9th and 12th centuries). A few finds also come from the Neolithic, Eneolithic and Late Ages. Hradiště was probably created in the younger Bronze Age. Hradiště, with an area of ​​21 hectares, is protected in the south and west by the steep slopes of the Elbe valley. The acropolis is considered to be the rocky Kalvárie Hill (separated by a gully from the rest of the hillfort) with a wonderful view of the Gate of Bohemia - Porta Bohemica, where the Elbe River broke through a 140-meter-deep canyon through the České středohoří massif. No remains of fortifications have been preserved around the Calvary, they may have been destroyed during the construction of extensive vineyards.

  9. Point of interest after 29.7 km

    Pevnost Terezín Museum guided tours Terezín is a place with a dark past as a Second World War concentration camp. But its history began to be written 150 years earlier, when the purpose of this place was not to serve as a prison, but as a defensive shield against the raids of the Kingdom of Prussia. BASTION FORTS The first bastions, as the element that gave this method of fortification its name, appeared 200 years before Terezín. During all that time, more than a hundred bastion fortresses were built, conquered and defended against conquest around the world. This represents a lot of experience and ideas that the military engineers could use when designing the form of the fortress. THE SHAPE OF THE FORTRESS As it is a purebred fortress built on a green meadow, it could be given an almost perfectly symmetrical and regular shape according to the then most modern principles of fortification. The star-shaped shape therefore does not contain any symbolism or reflect the vanity of the monarch. On the contrary, it is an ingenious and purely expedient defense system composed of a number of elements, each of which has a clearly defined purpose and a precisely designed shape.
