Cycle along the Vltava River from Cesky Krumlov to Prague to discover the medieval marvels and cultural hotspots of Bohemia. Pedal your way through South Bohemia, starting in the storybook town of Cesky Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels like stepping into the past. Ride alongside the gentle flow of the Vltava River and explore quiet country roads that wind through lush forests and villages steeped in medieval history. Along the way, discover Ceske Budejovice – home to the original Budweiser beer – and cross the Czech Republic’s oldest stone bridge in Pisek. Take in the views from Zvíkov Castle perched high above two rivers, and visit the 16th century pilgrimage Church of the Virgin Mary on Saint Mountain. Before reaching Prague, you’ll overnight in Karlstejn, where a dramatic Gothic castle sets the scene. It’s a relaxed yet rewarding ride, full of culture, scenery, and surprises in one of Europe’s less-travelled corners.

This was a fairly tough walking trip, with three challenging days (long days, lots of uphill) and two easier days. Certainly not one for the casual, uncommitted weekend walker! The two-night stay in the basic Curmatura hut was not made easier by the very very limited water supply (it was a trickle). There were 15 of us in the group and I thought that was too many for a hard walking trip of this type; 8-10 would have been ideal. The visits to the two castles (Peles and Bran) do not belong on this trip, in my opinion, as they resulted in unnecessarily late finishes to the walking on those days. The final day (Friday) in Bucharest could have been arranged much better, I thought, to avoid us sitting on a bus in traffic for ages. Why not take people straight to the hotel and then explore the city on foot from there?

Off the beaten track cycling through the unspoiled Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria. The Balkan Mountains are famous for lush green valleys, sheer cliffs and gentle rolling hills with sheep grazing peacefully in their pastures. Starting from the tiny village of Goliam Izvor there is enormous opportunity for unique cycling. Passing through the Central Balkan National Park, the narrow roads meander through valleys, forests and quaint villages that have not changed for centuries. Wooden carts pulled by horse or donkey are the norm and farmers still make hay with a pitchfork. Along the route you will visit several of the country's most significant and historic Orthodox monasteries. Many churches with ancient icons and colourful murals are scattered throughout the region. The final cycling stage ends in Veliko Tarnovo - one of the most charming Balkan towns and the former Bulgarian capital.

Romania surprised me in many good ways, sufficient infrastructures, kind people and beautiful landscapes, and what can be better than experiencing all these on two wheels! Speaking of the crew, Raz and Geo, what a dream team! They led us to the most enjoyable itinerary and kept everyone safe and sound. They had done an up and beyond job accommodating everyone’s needs, at all time, and that’s not a small thing given 11 of us with wide range of fitness and physical capability. Highly recommend people come to see Romania and do it on two wheels.
