My blog kicks off with hiking, an outdoor swimming pool and a bit of celebrity: we’re off to Bílina/Bilin in the north of the Czech Republic, not far from Dresden or Prague.
Bořeň (German: Borschen), also known as the ‘Bílina Lion’ because of its distinctive shape, offers magnificent views of the Louny Mountains, the Central Bohemian Uplands and the Ore Mountains, as well as open-cast lignite mines and power stations.
Alexander von Humboldt was here. Goethe came over from the nearby spa town of Teplitz with Beethoven.
You can read the full tour description here.
A summary is available on the Instagram account.
