Biking in Bohemia - Czech Republic & Austria

This biking adventure gives us a fascinating taste of the medieval towns and cities of the Czech Republic and its impressive castles as we cycle on quiet country lanes through gently rolling hills. Crossing into Austria the excellent cycle ways continue as we bike first by the Danube and then head for the lakes and the mountains – a dramatic change in scenery.

You will have every excuse to sample the local Czech beers and of course, the strudel and ice cream in Austria. It’s a fabulous trip.
