Beroun on the banks of the Berounka River
Your first day’s ride will lead you to the riverside village Karlstejn which will be your base for the next three nights. Daily circular rides will lead you along cycle paths and quiet lanes into the surrounding countryside. You’ll discover the secluded Monastery and hermit cave at Svaty Jan Pod Salou, learn the story of the brooding, abandoned Velka Amerika quarry, and ride through rural bohemian villages as well as the bustling market town of Beroun. The countryside is undoubtedly beautiful, with its rolling hills, forests and rivers, forming a romantic backdrop to your Czech cycling adventure.
This leisurely graded tour takes you along mainly flat terrain with a few ascents to contend with on days three and four, which make the downhills even sweeter! This is a great tour for anyone with a reasonable level of fitness gained through regular exercise of one kind or another.

This is a journey through some of the country’s finest landscape, with great overnight stops where you’ll get to know the real Czech Republic. Enjoy hearty local food and the famous original Budweiser beer at source. Brooding Gothic castles overlook the winding streets of old riverside towns and centuries old stone bridges span the banks of the Vltava. On the way there are many highlights, including Hluboka Castle, the medieval town of Pisek, Orlik Castle and the village of Karlstejn.
Karlstejn Castle
Of course we shouldn’t forget Prague itself, where you’ll spend a night at either end of the trip. The Czech Capital is surely one of Europe’s most beautiful and interesting cities and the perfect size to explore on foot.
The cycling route is a mixture of flat riverside sections, forest trails and low rolling hills. You’ll be covering around 169 miles during the trip, so while the cycle tour isn’t overly challenging you’ll need a moderate level of fitness to make the most of it. There are several totally car-free sections along with the remainder on quiet country lanes.

Cesky Krumlov – one of Europe’s best-preserved old towns
The Czech Republic has an excellent network of cycle routes and this tour makes use of some of the best ones, leading you through wonderful, rolling countryside, to charming old towns such as Telc, Znojmo and Mikulov. South Moravian wines really are world class but they don’t produce enough for export so don’t miss the opportunity to sample the product as you are travelling through – the beer’s pretty good too!
Finally you cross into Austria, spending the last night of the tour in elegant Vienna on the banks of the mighty Danube River.
This varied route, combines quiet lanes, paved cycle paths and a few short off-road sections. The terrain is undulating so some climbing is to be expected but nothing too challenging. You’ll be averaging around 55 km per day on this tour.
