The Uhelná Trail ends at Víťova Lookout near Náčkovice; the trail also focuses on local nature and coal mining in the surrounding area. In the village, the Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help adds a protected cultural landmark. Other museums in the nearby area each offer their own focus.
The Uhelná Trail: Nature and Mining History
The Uhelná Trail is almost 4.5 kilometres long and has eight information stops. It provides information about the local Luční potok stream, introduces protected local plants and animals from the local fauna, and covers the history of coal mining in the nearby area. Nature and history are not presented here as separate attractions: the trail connects the waterway and local flora and fauna with a historical theme of the area.
The trail’s length and the number of stops describe different aspects of the route: its length indicates its overall scope, while the information stops present its themes. The stream, plants and animals are local nature topics; coal mining specifically refers to the nearby area. In this way, the route combines local knowledge of nature with a look at the history of the surrounding area.
Víťova Lookout: Views and Structure
Víťova Lookout is located at the end of the Uhelná Trail, near Náčkovice. The observation tower is 21 metres high, and its viewing platform is 8.5 metres above the ground. These measurements refer to different points: the overall height of the structure and the height of the platform.
From Víťova Lookout, you can enjoy panoramic views of České středohoří, Lužické hory, Krušné hory and Mount Sedlo. The structure also includes a viewing gallery with eight windows and a transmitter for mobile networks. Here, a panorama and a technical function come together in one viewing structure.

Cultural Landmarks in Náčkovice and the Surrounding Area
The Chapel of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is located in Náčkovice and has been protected as a cultural monument since 1958. It was restored in 2008. The dates mark different milestones: 1958 is when it received protected status, and 2008 is when it was later restored.
Another cultural landmark in the area is the Lovečkovice Mini Museum. It is housed in a former railway building on the Velké Březno–Úštěk line. The building was saved from demolition and reconstructed; its preservation is therefore also part of its history. The municipality of Lovečkovice has not operated the Mini Museum since 1 July 2021. Check current visiting options before travelling.
In the surrounding area, the Zubrnice Open-Air Museum adds to the cultural attractions as an open-air museum of folk architecture in an inhabited village. While the former railway building’s history stands out at the Mini Museum, the open-air museum is characterised by folk architecture in an inhabited village.
