POLABÍ region
The character of the route below Mladá Boleslav does not change much. The trail from Mladá Boleslav to Benátky nad Jizerou goes mainly along unpaved field roads (unsuitable for road bikes) and low-traffic roads. It will take you to the settlement Krnsko, above which arches one of the largest ferroconcrete viaducts in Bohemia, whose length is 152 m and measures 27 m in height (cultural monument). The Stránov chateau is hidden in the valley behind the viaduct. From the spiritual monuments we recommend visiting the churches of St. Mikuláš in Vinec or in Horky nad Jizerou. The so-called „dead arms“ or also „dead river channel“ of the Jizera river with moisture-loving vegetation are also interesting. In Dražice you can see the ruins of the castle and in Benátky nad Jizerou the chateau where the Toy Museum is placed.
From the former railway siding, which went to the sugar factory that is already closed today, there is now a cycle path and a track for in-line skating. Approximately 7 km from the trail (direction Lysá nad Labem) there is a former military complex – Tankodrom Milovice, connected by a narrow-gauge railway with the entertainment park Mirakulum and the nature reserve Česká krajina (game park with bison and pratur).
