Teptin: Cultural Monuments and Forest Landscape near Kamenice

Teptin leads into a cultural landscape where the Ringhoffer Mausoleum lies below Zaječí vrch in a wooded setting and is connected to Kamenice Castle by an avenue.

The different scales—individual buildings, a landscape area and several sports—can be weighed alongside one another without prescribing a fixed order for your stay. This keeps the possible itinerary open: a stay can focus more on culture, more on the landscape or more on sporting activities, depending on which aspects you would like to compare.
