Individual arrival. Český Krumlov is a medieval town registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List. You will have free time to see the world-renowned medieval and Renaissance town with its famous castle gardens.

Optional visit of Český Krumlov Castle, then we take a route along the scenic valley of the Vltava River. The first site to visit on the way is the monastery Zlata Koruna (the Golden Crown). We continue to České Budějovice (Budweis), optional tour with tasting. You stay over night in Hluboká nad Vltavou. Neo-gothic Chateau Hluboká nad Vltavou is perhaps the most romantic chateau in the Czech Republic. Extension – possible to visit also Holašovice village (UNESCO Her-itage site).

We will pass nuclear power station Temelin and ride on to Písek, a picturesque town on the Otava River. The main attraction of Písek is a stone bridge from 13th century – the oldest stone bridge in central Europe.

This is the longest distance of the tour. You can choose between paved path and partly off-road route. We will pass by Orlik castle, where you can take a tour to see its splendidly decorated rooms. At the end of the day’s ride, you will arrive in Příbram. The town has been an important mining centre since the Middle Ages. However, the more recent history of the town is rather chilling. Many political prisoners were forced to work at the Příbram uranium mines during the Communist regime.

We will visit a 14th – 17th century pilgrimage church with a monastery, Svata Hora (Holy Mountain), work-ing camp or mine museum in the morning. Then we will continue the ride through this picturesque region. We will cycle through an extensive former military area in the beautiful forested hills of Brdy. You will cycle “in the middle of nowhere” on 9 metre-wide paved roads used by the army in the past. Premium option ends at Zbiroh chateau from 13th century where you will stay over a night.

We will cycle from Žebrák to the impressive 14th cen-tury ruins of Tocnik Castle. The middle part of the day leads through forested rolling hills. Shortly afterwards, we will arrive at Beroun. This is a medieval town in the heart of the Karstejn district with romantic valleys, caves, pits and localities where pre-historic fossils can still be found. The remaining part of the day follows the Berounka River through the romantic valley all the way to Karlštejn village. The premium option starts in Zbiroh and joins the standard route in 11 km at Tocnik Castle.
