When planning a trip to Dubí, specific details can make all the difference: a church in the Venetian Gothic style, educational trails with different focuses, and offerings at Tereziny lázně. When looking for accommodation, you can first consider whether architecture, a walk, nature topics or therapeutic treatments will shape your stay.
Church architecture, porcelain and a hunting lodge
The Church of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary (Kostel Neposkvrněného početí Panny Marie) was built between 1898 and 1906 as a three-aisled basilica in the Venetian Gothic style. Its model was the Madonna dell’Orto in Venice. Guided tours with commentary cover the church’s architecture and building history and also include a visit to the Clary-Aldringen family crypt. Those interested in architectural history will find a specific focus for a cultural part of their trip; the visit to the crypt is part of these tours.
Another historic building is the Dvojhradí hunting lodge. It was built for Tupperle in 1703 in the Chinese style. The Dům porcelánu s modrou krví – Modrodům offers a different perspective on regional history: its first floor houses an exhibition on the history of porcelain production in the area below the Ore Mountains. The lodge and the exhibition highlight different aspects: the architecture of a hunting lodge on the one hand, and the development of a regional craft on the other.
Educational trails: plan your time and choose your topics
The walk along the Paraplíčko educational trail takes just over an hour. The trail is near Tereziny lázně and is especially suitable for families with children. This makes it an option whose timing is easy to factor into your travel plans. The Cínovec educational trail, by contrast, is defined by its length: it is 14 kilometres long. Take this into account when planning your day, and choose the trail if you are also interested in the topics covered along the way.
Information boards along the Cínovec educational trail cover peatland restoration, geological features, and the local fauna and flora of this part of the Ore Mountains. The topics range from landscape conservation and geology to natural history. When choosing between the two trails, consider two different questions: how much time would you like to set aside for your walk, and what would you like to learn along the way? The known duration of the Paraplíčko walk and the length of the Cínovec trail offer two different ways to plan.
In the lower part of Cínovec, visitors can swim in Dlouhý rybník. The Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Nanebevzetí Panny Marie) is near the pond. If you are interested in this part of town, you can consider the swimming spot and the nearby church as two different reasons to visit.
Tereziny lázně and the Mstišov game reserve
Tereziny lázně offers therapeutic treatments focused mainly on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The forest park by the spa includes a tennis court, a mini-golf course, a Russian skittles facility and an outdoor swimming pool. As the operation of individual facilities may change, check their current availability before visiting.
The Mstišov game reserve is open to the public. It has been home to woodland animals for more than three hundred years; visitors can see red deer, fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar, pheasants, ducks and a fox. Opening details may change, so it is advisable to check the latest visitor information in advance.
Getting there and choosing a hotel
Dubí railway station is a stop on the tourist Moldavská dráha railway between Most, Dubí and Moldava in the Ore Mountains. If you would like to include the train in your trip, check the timetable for your travel dates. When choosing a hotel in Dubí, you can first compare your planned priorities: a church tour and an exhibition, a walk of just over an hour, the 14-kilometre educational trail, or offerings at Tereziny lázně. This way, you can focus your accommodation search on the experiences you actually plan to make time for.
