The destination city of the entire cycling route lies in the deep Elbe Valley and offers cyclists a wealth of cultural and sporting activities. Right in the city center, the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is worth a visit; its tower was visibly tilted by wartime bombing and is now one of the most leaning structures in Central Europe. Attractive detours off the main route take cyclists to the zoo, built on a steep, wooded slope, or to the majestic ruins of the Gothic Střekov Castle, which towers on a high cliff directly above the Elbe River on the opposite bank. The city offers comprehensive cycling facilities and serves as the natural finale to the entire journey.
