Section P approx. 65 km from Schmilka to Litoměřice

The impressive rocky landscape of Bohemian Switzerland accompanies the Elbe almost all the way to the city of Decin, with its imposing castle. You cycle through the local metropolis of Ústí nad Labem and past Burg Schreckenstein before pedalling past the Elbschleife and through the Elbe Valley. After the Porta Bohemica, the valley opens up. The historical Old Town of Litomerice is surely the high point of this section.
