The "Czech Castles Cycle" tour starts and ends in Prague. The "Czech Castles Cycle" tour is a bicycle trip that takes 8 days taking you through Prague, Zebrak, Pisek, Príbram and 4 other destinations in czech republic and the Czech Republic. This is a self-guided private tour that includes accommodation in hotels, meals and others.

Cycle along the Vltava River from Cesky Krumlov to Prague to discover the medieval marvels and cultural hotspots of Bohemia. Cycle from Sumava National Park, located in the south of Bohemia, along the Vltava River through picturesque landscapes filled with untouched forests and historic buildings towards the charming capital of the Czech Republic, Prague. The route, which is paved along the river and follows quiet country roads when you venture away from it, will connect you with places that were once the cultural centres during the Middle Ages. The ride begins in the well preserved, UNESCO listed medieval town of Cesky Krumlov before taking in a host of Czech highlights including Ceske Budejovice, a city which inspired the naming of Budweiser beer; the town of Pisek, home to the oldest stone bridge in the Czech Republic; the royal castle of Zvíkov situated high above the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers; and Saint Mountain with its pilgrimage Church of the Virgin Mary dating back to the 16th century. Before reaching Prague you will also spend a night at Karlstejn village where you can admire its spectacular fourteenth century Gothic castle.
