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.
Everything worked out perfectly. Hotels were generally good and well located with good breakfasts. Transfer of bags was flawless. The route on our phone was clear and simple to follow.
I really suggest this trip, suitable for everyone, also for people not particularly trained. We rode along the Elba river, in a very safety roads, on bike tracks almost flat, not accessible to the cars. Beautiful landscapes and nature, lovely villages, very welcoming people. Prague and Dresden really worth the trip!
