Žalhostice: Hotels and accommodations

Žalhostice is known for fruit growing, especially apricots, and, together with Velké Žernoseky, for winegrowing. It belongs to the Litoměřice wine subregion.

Water and the Elbe

Lake Píšťanské lies between Velké Žernoseky, Píšťany and Žalhostice. It is a popular recreational destination with sandy shores and offers good conditions for windsurfing and other water sports.

The traditional public water event Žalhostická Neckyáda takes place on the banks of the Elbe in Žalhostice. Boats of various shapes, colours and sizes compete for a trophy from Žalhostice.

Nature around Radobýl

The Radobýl natural monument covers 6.256 hectares and extends across the cadastral areas of Litoměřice and Žalhostice. It protects a geomorphologically significant neovolcanic mountain with preserved basalt column structures, as well as rock, rock-steppe, scree and grassland communities.

A yellow-marked hiking trail to Radobýl begins south of Žalhostice railway stop on railway line 087 and leads from there to the summit. From the summit, it offers an almost panoramic view of Litoměřice, the Elbe, Lake Píšťanské, Lovosice, the Terezín Basin and the adjoining part of the České středohoří highlands.

History and culture

The Chapel of Saint Nicholas was founded in 1360 among vineyards on the slope of Radobýl. After being damaged during the Thirty Years' War, it was restored in 1672.

In the 19th century, the chapel's interior furnishings included an altar and wall paintings of Our Lady of Sorrows, Saint Nicholas, God the Father and the Dove of the Holy Spirit.

Wine and trails

By arrangement, Vinařství pod Radobýlem offers guided tours with wine tasting at its winery in Žalhostice. The tour introduces the technology used and the method of wine production. In suitable weather, the visit can be extended with a walk through the vineyard to a chapel and a bell tower.

The Elbe Magistrale runs along the Elbe between Dresden and Prague and passes through Velké Žernoseky and Žalhostice before reaching Litoměřice. Along its route, other cycle paths connect to it or cross it.
