Overview

Follow the flow of the mighty Vltava River on this enchanting ride from Cesky Krumlov to Prague, exploring the very heart of South Bohemia. This tour is ideal for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike, offering a mix of quiet forest roads, riverbank trails, and historic towns, all wrapped in the gentle landscapes of the Czech countryside.

The journey begins in the storybook town of Cesky Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and leads you through a series of cultural treasures: the beer capital of Ceske Budejovice, the romantic Hluboka Chateau, the historic bridges of Pisek, and the mining town of Pribram. You’ll pedal through quiet backroads and former military roads in the Brdy Hills, visit Gothic ruins, and overnight near the iconic Karlstejn Castle before rolling into Prague on a scenic riverside path.

This tour offers moderate daily distances, mostly on quiet or traffic-free routes, and a perfect mix of cultural landmarks and peaceful nature, ending in one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals.
