The final stage is full of historical sights. It begins in Louny with the Church of St. Nicholas and its observation tower. The route then continues through Libochovice, home to an interesting castle and an attractive castle park. From Libochovice, Bike Route No. 6 takes you to the town of Budyně nad Ohří, where the unique water castle with the Janda Museum is well worth a visit. From Budyně, the route continues through Doksany, home to a monastery, and on to the fortified town of Terezín. It is known as a somber reminder of World War II, but it is also a unique Baroque fortress offering fascinating tours of its underground passages. The stage ends in the historic town of Litoměřice, where the Eger River flows into the Elbe and where St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its observation tower—as well as the town’s landmark and symbol, the Kalich Tower—are well worth seeing.

The fifth stage of the Eger Cycle Route is just under 55 km long and has a gentle elevation profile, with an ascent of only 150 meters. The route runs mostly along quiet side roads or roads with light traffic. Part of the route is also designated as a dedicated bike path. The section where extra caution is required is the stretch between the villages of Písty and Doksany, where there is heavier car traffic. Similarly, extra caution is needed when approaching the town of Litoměřice, where the route follows the Tyrš Bridge in a bike lane.
