Cycling holidays in the Czech Republic

Our cycle tours in the Czech Republic take you right into the heart of Europe, to a land of mountains, nature parks, forests, castles, and medieval towns. The pristine nature immediately captivates all visitors. The most famous regions are Bohemian Switzerland, part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the West Bohemian spa triangle with the fashionable spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně, as well as the Giant Mountains. Some major rivers have their sources in the Czech Republic: the Elbe and Oder flow northwards, and the Morava and Thaya towards the Danube. The longest river in the Czech Republic is the Vltava, which is crossed in Prague by the famous Charles Bridge and whose course Bedřich Smetana set to music in his symphonic poem The Vltava.

Cycle tours in the Czech Republic are of the more challenging variety, as the country is largely hilly and mountainous. Historically remarkable and extremely well-preserved cities can be found in the Czech Republic. First and foremost, of course, is the capital Prague, whose old town is a sight to behold. But Český Krumlov, located on the Vltava River in South Bohemia, is also known for its Gothic and Baroque buildings. For many, Krumlov is the most beautiful city in the country after Prague.

The Czechs are an extremely sociable people. This can also be seen in the distinctive pub culture.

The cycle tour along the Elbe from Prague to Dresden takes you from the Czech capital along the popular Elbe cycle path past Mělník, Litoměřice and Saxon Switzerland to the Saxon Elbe Valley. Visit Schreckenstein Castle and marvel at the bizarre rock formations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. The historic state capital of Saxony with its many magnificent baroque buildings awaits you at the end of your cycle tour along the Elbe.

On the Vltava Cycle Route, which consists of many fragments of several local sections of the Czech cycle route network, you will get to know the beauty of the natural, untouched landscape of Bohemia. You cycle between the Lipno reservoir and the Czech capital Prague. The town of Budweis boasts one of the largest market squares in Europe and has a beautiful town hall, the Black Tower and a Unesco-listed town center. The city looks back on a 700-year-old history of beer brewing.
