Doubice: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Doubice is located in the Děčín District on the edge of the transition between the Lusatian Mountains and Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The landscape and trails here range from wooded basalt hills to marked routes through the Kyjovské Valley.

Nature and Trails

Near Doubice lies Spravedlnost, a wooded basalt hill in the Lusatian Mountains with an elevation of 533 metres. The hill is located 1 kilometre south of Doubice and is also known by the names Irrichtberg and Soudňák. On its rocky summit there is a viewpoint equipped with a railing and bench; the summit area is protected as the Spravedlnost Nature Reserve.

Na Tokáň can be reached from Doubice via a yellow-marked hiking trail or the “První brána” cycle route (number 3076). Along the yellow-marked hiking trail from Doubice to Tokáň, pictures have been placed on notable trees; they were commissioned and installed by the administration of Bohemian Switzerland National Park. A green-marked hiking trail also leads from Doubice into the Kyjovské Valley. There is a comfortable footpath and a cycle path there on an asphalt road that is also suitable for pushchairs.

Culture and History

Southwest of Doubice stands the Field Chapel of the Holy Trinity, built in the Baroque style in the first half of the 18th century. In the village, the old Upper Lusatian house structures are considered outstanding examples of the folk architecture of northern Bohemia. The late Baroque parish church of the Roman Catholic Parish of Doubice, with Classicist elements, was built in 1811–1814 and has been an immovable cultural monument since 1958.

The Doubice Museum opened to the public on 26 October 2014 as a municipal museum with exhibits and documents relating to the history of the village. It was housed in the historic rooms of the former Imperial-Royal Post Office in the former “Gasthaus zur Post” inn. The original building dates from 1845 and was half inn and half post office.
