Arrival in Prague
The "Golden City" is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. The historic buildings, the winding streets of the old town and the breathtaking view from the Charles Bridge are ideal for a stroll through the city.
The Vltava shows you the way from Prague. The slightly hilly and varied landscape will enchant you. On your day trip, you will pass countless small, idyllically situated Bohemian villages. Houses with wood-clad facades inevitably attract attention. Many cosy restaurants invite you for lunch and a refreshing beer. Overnight stay in the Sedlčany area.
Today you largely follow the course of the Vltava, through countless small Bohemian villages and the deep green Bohemian forest. You will cycle along the Vltava reservoir near Milešov to Orlík. The Gothic castle is well worth a visit. But the next attraction is only a few kilometres away: Zvikov Castle was one of the most important castles in Bohemia during the Middle Ages. With the picturesque town of Písek, you have reached the final destination of the day.
A fascinating primordial landscape accompanies you today. Most of the cycle path runs along the romantic banks of the Vltava. Following the route, you will pass nice towns such as Týn nad Vltavou. A small forest path leads you to Hluboká Castle, which towers high above the Vltava and is well worth a visit. At today's final destination, a delicious Budweiser beer provides the right refreshment for your daily effort.
You will experience pure nature during today's stage. There are countless meadows and forests in the South Bohemian landscape. The region has been declared a protected nature reserve by UNESCO and the so-called South Bohemian pond plate has been created from the pond management that has been under development for some time. The completely untouched nature is a fantastic experience for every cyclist. But there is also culture and architecture: historic buildings, old fortresses and picturesque villages lie along your path.
Your stage takes you through the north of Lower Austria. The region of the so-called Waldviertel is characterized by numerous river and pond landscapes. The route leads you through seemingly endless forests with fresh air and that recognizable scent. The Waldviertel cuisine is also known far beyond the country's borders: carp and potatoes are the culinary ambassadors of this region.
The Kamptal cycle route takes you quickly via Langenlois to Hadersdorf. A nice bike path and is also relatively flat. Now the first vineyards around Krems appear in your field of view. From Hadersdorf you continue by train to Tulln. Take some time to visit the Egon Schiele Museum before cycling the last kilometres along the Danube to Vienna. You can reach your accommodation easily and without much traffic via Danube Island.
Return trip or extension
Vienna still has so much to offer and certainly deserves a visit. Shall we reserve a few extra nights for you?
Route information
The quality of the trails on this route can vary significantly. You'll find well-paved bike paths in some sections, while in others, you'll encounter bumpy, unpaved fields, and forest paths. Typically, the journey takes you along dedicated cycle paths and tranquil country roads, although there are occasional segments with higher traffic volumes.
It's essential to be aware that, especially in the Czech regions and the Waldviertel area, you'll encounter steep slopes that may demand a high level of fitness or the option to choose the convenience of an E-bike. On the positive side, the route is generally well-signposted, making navigation straightforward for cyclists.
