Things To Do: Trmice chateau
  • Tip Rating:
  • The chateau was built by a leading Czech aristocratic family of the Nosticzs in 1856 –1863 in Neo-Gothic Tudor style in the middle of a park that used to be known for its magnificence. In 1919 the chateau was bought by the industrialist Wolfrum who later sold it to the city of Usti nad Labem. In 1994 the interior was renovated and now it serves as a represen-tative community centre with a ceremony hall and a marble concert hall. The permanent exhibition of the regional industry history including a permanent exhibition of railway models is placed in several chateau chambers.

    Things To Do: St. Adalbert's Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • A Baroque church with a Dominican cloister built in 1715-1730 by Octavio Broggion, an important North Bohemian architect, in the place of a building of the same name from 1070. In 1972 the second biggest organ in the Czech Republic was installed in the church.

    Things To Do: St. Paul's Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • Neo-Romantic church built by Usti Protestants, con-secrated in 1906. The construction is remarkable with the decorative brick facade, the utilization of concrete prefabricated elements in the nave vault and a unified interior equipment. Only one of the three original bells, the biggest one with a portrait of Martin Luther, remained in place until today.

    Things To Do: Church of the Lady’s Nativity
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Church of the Lady’s Nativity is the dominant construction on the Wenceslave Square in the Trmice community. The current outer form of the church is the result of a Neo-Gothic reconstruction in 1898. The interior of the church bears many traces of its Gothic and Baroque past. A Baroque parish house was built next to the church. Bishop Karel Otcenasek, an important Czech Roman Catholic priest, spent many years in the parish of Trmice.

    Things To Do: The Museum of Vernacular Architecture
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Museum of Vernacular Architecture in Zubrnice maintains buildings and the equipment documenting the life and housing in the area of the Czech Highland in the past. It is the youngest open-air museum within Bohemia. A complex of timbered farm houses with preserved interior and exterior including a unique hot air fruit drying house are open to the public. Another interesting display is a little village shop and a village school. The village square is decorated with a wooden Baroque fountain from 1695 that was brought to Zubrnice from Strizkovice near Usti nad Labem. The Church of the St. Mary of Magdala is also a part of the open-air museum.

    Things To Do: St. Jacob's Church
  • Tip Rating:
  • The St. Jacob?s Church in Svadov was built in the 14th century (see the latest discovery of the Vartenberks? gravestone from 1370), but has attributes of the Saxonin Renaissance architecture (1580-1610). The church belongs to the most valuable landmarks in the region. The Baroque parish house and with the Three Magi column were built by the order of Ann Francisca of Tuscany.

    Things To Do: Tisa
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • The community of Tisa is a gate to the Romantic area of Elbe Sandstones. The Late Baroque St. Ann?s Church in the centre of the village is the starting point for trips to the Tisa Rocks. The Rocks are a fanciful rock city with bizarre sandstone formations?for instance Napoleon?s Shoe. The name of the rock reminds us of the Napoleonic wars when a treasure was allegedly buried in the rocks. The treasure is thought to be the treasury of the French army defeated on August 30, 1813 in the battle of Chlumec.
    Until early 20's of the 20th century entrance without a guide was prohibited. Today the area is a climbers? paradise with 113 registered climbing rocks. Besides the Small and Big Walls north of Tisa there are other two, less frequented rock cities?Ostrov Rocks and Rajec Rocks.

    Things To Do: Vanovsky waterfall
  • Tip Rating:
  • 40 meter high waterfall on the Podlesinsky brook issuing from a basalt wall. In winter the waterfall creates ice curtains, laces and stalactites. From the waterfall a marked path leads to the right. Notice the moss-grown stone with a carved inscription from March 19, 1916. We will reach the view point with the remains of benches and handrails. The view of the Strekov castle and the river Labe with its environs is beautiful.

    Vrkoc ? a European curiosity
    Columniform disintegration of the basalt rock similar to female hair (vrkoc). Its picture can be found in many scientific libraries of the world. While descending the stone path from Vanovsky waterfall you cannot miss this columniform formation.

     Hi Monika! I am glad I found your page on Usti nad Labem for my very good pen friend lives there. When I was in Prague we decided that she would come there to meet me, but now I think I should have gone to see her. Happy Birthday from Finland!

     my dad was born here, do you think it would offend locals if we tried to locate where he was living once -- streetnames were in German that time -- from driving through I remember a very interesting modern suspension bridge...
