Few cities in Ústecký kraj have a history as closely tied to Elbe navigation and trade as Lovosice. Set on the river’s left bank in northern Bohemia, the town developed on the long-established route between Prague and Saxony, where river transport supported its port and commerce. The volcanic hills of the České středohoří rise immediately west of the built-up area, with Lovoš forming a familiar landmark above the valley. Lovosice also stands close to the battlefield of Lobositz, where the first major engagement of the Seven Years’ War was fought in 1756. Rail, road and river traffic still underline its role as a regional transport centre. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of the Elbe valley connects regionally.
