Úštěk (German Auscha ) is a city in Ústecký kraj in the Czech Republic .
Geographical location
The city is located in northern Bohemia at the scenic transition between the Bohemian Central Mountains and Daubaer Schweiz . It was built on an elongated sandstone rock that slides along the Černý potok (Haberbach) from west to east in the area where it flows into the Úštěcký potok ( Munkerbach ).
history
The place was founded in the middle of the 11th century and elevated to a city in 1361. The original lords of Michalovice pledged the city to Berka von Dubá in 1387 . The city passed through numerous ecclesiastical and secular hands. Auscha is a center of hop growing and was a center of the Bohemian hop trade. In 1885 a hop hall was built and there were several large hop factories. The red hops produced were traded on the Auscha hop markets. The Arial Road ran straight through the city from Leitmeritz to Bohemian Leipa .
According to the Munich Agreement , the city belonged from 1938 to 1945 to the district of Leitmeritz , administrative district of Aussig , in the Reichsgau Sudetenland of the German Empire .
In the 1960s, the Chmelař recreational center was established north of the city. The creation of the artificial pond cleared and flooded the village of Zelená Ves ( Gründorf ). In the northwest lies the massif of the Geltschberg (Sedlo).
Today a total of around 2,800 people live in the 22 districts. The most important sources of income are traditionally agriculture, metal processing and furniture manufacturing. The share of textile production is constantly falling, with increases being recorded in the service sector. Unemployment is relatively high.
The city has served as a backdrop for feature films several times.

Attractions
The historic city center was declared an urban monument reserve in 1980 .
- Historic old town with "bird houses" (monument protection reserve)
- Ruins of the Helfenburg near Ostré
- The Neuländer Kapellenberg near Ostré (Neuland) has a height of 330 m and offers a good view over the Auscha basin to the Geltschberg . In the opposite direction, only the peak of the Vlhošť (Willhoscht) is visible. The two baroque chapels above a stone flight of steps, to which a way of the cross leads from Ostré, were built between 1703 and 1707 by the Leitmeritz master builder Octavio Broggio on behalf of the Jesuits zu Liebeschitz . After a last restoration in 1928, art abusers looted and destroyed the complex in the 1950s. The neglected Kalvarienberg was freed from wild trees and shrubs in 2005. There used to be a pilgrimage along the Way of the Cross for the Cross Finding Festival on May 3rd.
In the streets and alleys of the city center at Easter and August there are very attractive and well-attended "Old Bohemian Fairs", at which craftsmen (ceramists, basket weavers, glassblowers, blacksmiths, turners, beekeepers, plasterers, tailors, belters, etc.) offer their products.
