Nature and Water

A narrow strip of floodplain forest with stands of sedges along the riverbank stretches along the Elbe towards Počeplice; it is considered particularly rich in birdlife. In the Bílé stráně u Štětí area, semi-natural dry grasslands and shrubland communities occur on calcareous soil.

Špičák offers views of Štětí, the surrounding municipalities and the Kokořínsko Protected Landscape Area. A landing stage is located in the quiet zone of Štětí.
