The town of Louny, often nicknamed the “Pearl of the Eger River” or the “Southern Gateway to the Bohemian Central Mountains,” will charm you with its peaceful atmosphere and unique architecture. Its most striking feature is the unmissable St. Nicholas Church with its triangular hipped roof, which is one of the masterpieces of Czech Late Gothic architecture. History buffs will enjoy a stroll along the well-preserved city walls with their bastions and the Žatec Gate, while art lovers shouldn’t miss the modern Benedikt Rejt Gallery. Great news for cyclists is that the city is easily accessible by bike via the Eger Cycle Path, which connects Louny with the surrounding picturesque countryside as well as with cities such as Žatec and Litoměřice.
