Aussig an der Elbe

Ústí nad Labem Essentials

Ústí nad Labem sits in the deep valley of the Elbe River, surrounded by the peaks of the Bohemian Central Uplands. This selection features the 14th-century Střekov Castle ruins, a landmark perched on a 100-meter cliff, and the Větruše hilltop complex accessible by cable car. Natural highlights include the 12-meter Vaňovský waterfall and the Vrkoč basalt rock formation. The city’s cultural heritage is represented by the Neo-Baroque North Bohemian Opera and Ballet Theatre and the Empire-style Chateau Velké Březno.
