Petrohrad: Hotels and accommodations

Above the municipality of Petrohrad stands the ruin of Petrohrad Castle on a wooded rocky spur.

Culture and history

Petr of Janovice is believed to have built Petrohrad Castle at the end of the 14th century. Petrohradský park was created at the end of the 18th century by Jan Rudolf Černín. The Chapel of All Saints was built based on the model of the ancient Maria Rotunda, or the Roman Pantheon. Count Heřman Černín z Chudenic had the chapel built on Zámecký vrch as a lasting memorial to his rescue.

Trails and viewpoints

From the viewpoint near the Chapel of All Saints, there are views across the Ústecký, Karlovarský, Plzeňský and Středočeský regions. The chapel is located in the old part of Petrohrad; the tree-lined forest path Cesta českých svatých leads there and continues as a hiking trail. As an educational trail, Cesta českých svatých leads from Petrohrad through the Háj Petra Bezruče grove to the summit with the Chapel of All Saints.

The walk in Petrohradský park is signposted with tourist markings, freely accessible and allows visitors to create their own circuit. Stezka zdraví comprises three signposted circuits of varying lengths and difficulty, including a measured 500-metre route and a 2-kilometre circuit for recreational runners.

Nature and rocks

Háj Petra Bezruče features granite outcrops accessible via a walkable tourist trail. The grove is home to habitats and species of wood-dwelling insects, particularly the beetle Osmoderma barnabita. Petrohradské skály is a popular destination for climbers; bouldering guides are also available there.

The Chapel of All Saints is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m. from April to September. On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the second edition of the Pivního pochodu, organized by the VEEV association, took place in Petrohrad.
