Anyone wishing to book a hotel in Česká Lípa District can then continue searching for accommodation. Zákupy Chateau houses a passenger lift dating from 1870, described as the oldest surviving lift in the Czech Republic. This specific detail is particularly relevant for travellers interested in cultural and technological history.

Culture

Zákupy Chateau includes a Baroque garden and an English park. The chateau served as a summer residence of the Habsburgs and preserves historically furnished rooms.

The exhibition at Vísecká rychta presents traditional ways of life of the people in Česká Lípa District, including hop growing, grain farming, livestock breeding, spinning, weaving and carpentry. The exhibition also presents folk architecture and forms of housing in Northern Bohemia.

The self-guided tour of Bezděz Castle includes the chapel, the Royal Palace, the Burgrave's Palace, the Lord's Palace and the Great Tower. Sloup Castle stands on a sandstone rock in Northern Bohemia.

At Novotný Glass in Nový Bor, visitors can watch glassmakers working at hot furnaces; glass shows are held regularly. The permanent exhibition at the Nový Bor Glass Museum is organised around the techniques of engraved, cut, painted, hot-formed and decorated glass.

Nature

The Kokořínsko–Máchův kraj Protected Landscape Area protects the Dokesko, Podbezdězí and Ralsko landscape areas. Three protected landscape areas extend across Česká Lípa District: České středohoří, Kokořínsko–Máchův kraj and Lužické hory.

Česká Lípa District contains four national nature monuments: Peklo, Swamp, Jestřebské slatiny and Panská skála. It is also home to four national nature reserves: Břehyně-Pecopala, Novozámecký rybník, Jezevčí vrch and Velký a Malý Bezděz.

Peklo National Nature Monument is a valley with rock formations and chambers carved into the rock. Dolanský rybník features the remains of an old mill and a nearby waterfall.

Experiences

A boat trip on Máchovo jezero may include views of Bezděz Castle. This combination appeals to travellers who want to combine a water experience with castle culture.

Equestrian tourism has developed in the former military area of Ralsko. A flat 20-kilometre cycling route begins at Zámek Zahrádky and leads to the Holanské rybníky ponds. The trail through Peklo National Nature Monument also begins at Zámek Zahrádky. In hot summer weather, Holanské rybníky offer a swimming spot along this cycling route.

The Stezka hastrmanů trail in Brniště has small playgrounds and is suitable for visitors with pushchairs. Zákupy Chateau is a three-minute walk from the market square; there is an unattended car park below the chateau.
