Popular around Mostecké lake
Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (Czech: kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie) is a late Gothic church in old Most, built in 1517. When Most’s historic centre was demolished in the 1960s–1980s because of expanding lignite mines, the church was saved by being moved 841.1 metres in 1975. Weighing 12,700 tonnes, it was listed in the Guinness World Records as the heaviest building ever moved on wheels.

A stunningly beautiful nature reserve, it's off-limits. Law enforcement officers regularly monitor it.

A train station in itself is certainly not a mega highlight, but sometimes it is: a pretty cool old train runs from Most train station to Moldava, high up on the Ore Mountain ridge. It was really practical for our tour: we went down from the ridge to Most to do some shopping there and to get a taste of Czech city flair. With the historic little train we went back up to the ridge. This saved time and a lot of grains. In addition, the trip was a real adventure for a small price. Incidentally, the “train” consisted of exactly one railcar. This has a bicycle compartment with two bicycle spaces - almost as much as an entire ICE. ;) You can find more information about the train here: https://erz.krusnohorci.cz/urlaubstipps/185-eisenbahn-most-dubi-moldava

Nice bike path on Mostecké Jezero with a great view of the lake. The lower paths are also mobile, but not asphalted. Since it is a former lignite mine, renovation work is still possible, and more asphalt roads are also being built. More information: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_(Tschechien)#Die_neue_Stadt
