The Blaník-Říp pilgrimage route, between these two legendary Bohemian hills, is one of the classic long-distance trails in the Czech Republic. It is a fine hike, usually completed over 6 to 7 days.

*From Mělník to Roudnice nad Labem, traversing Říp mountain: 19 km to 34 km*
The final (and best) section of the classic long-distance trail, Blaník-Říp, starts in Mělnik old town. It is a scenic and varied route. Finish the walk in historic Roudnice and catch the fast train home.
*Climb the legendary Říp mountain from Roudnice nad Labem – an 11 km to 14 km trip*
Climbing Říp (461m) is more than a walk. It is sort of a national pilgrimage, albeit a short one if starting at the nearest car park. Take the scenic route from Roudnice and enjoy the views of the looming hill.
