Come and visit this North Bohemian city that unfolds in the wide basin of both banks of the Elbe River. On one side, you can see the substantial chateau towering above you, on the other, the cliff called Pastýřská stěna (Shepherd's Wall). The Elbe River dissects the city from south to north, and just outside it, the river begins to meander its way through the fairy tale landscape of the Elbe sandstone formations with massive sandstone walls and deep forests. Nearby, you will also find lookout towers with stunning views of the countryside.
