Kyjov valley

The picturesque Kyjov valley also belongs to the Děčín district. Its beautiful and untouched nature stretches along the Křinice River, behind the elongated village of Kyjov. The town of Krásná Lípa, which is also worth a visit, is located near the Kyjov valley. Tourists can visit the local brewery Falkenštejn or see an interesting exhibition in the House of Bohemian Switzerland.

The village of Kyjov is typical for its folk timbered buildings. The Kyjov dam is also popular with tourists and is suitable for swimming. At the same time, there are many cycling and hiking trails, as well as good mountaineering terrain. The local landscape will captivate you with its natural beauty in every season, for example in winter the frost creates interesting ice formations. The view of the picturesque landscape of Bohemian Switzerland will provide you with three rock castles - Kyjovský, Brtnický and Vlčí.

Other attractions

• Wine cellar - a cave with two spaces formed from fallen boulders. It is a popular place for climbers. In winter you can see here bottle-shaped ice stalactites and one of the legends says that a secret passage leads to Kyjov Castle.

• Cave of the Fairies - rock overhang with underground spaces. The cave can be found on the right bank of the river Křinice, near Doubice. During the winter, there is an abundance of ice decorations with icicles, curtains and other ice formations. Hopefully, you will discover the cave and let yourself be carried away by its extraordinary beauty. It is freely accessible.

• Kyjov Rock Castle - hints of the rock castle can be found 1 km west of Kyjov. It is located on a sandstone promontory and its walls fall perpendicularly into the Krinice Canyon.

Please note that there is still a risk of falling trees in the Kyjov valley due to the bark beetle calamity. We recommend entering with extra caution and in good weather.
