Itinerary

Day 1: Jindřichův Hradec - Třeboň - 54 km / 34 miles

In the morning we pick you up at your hotel in Prague and take you to historic Jindřichův Hradec. The first day you ride through countryside featuring lakes and pine groves. This picturesque landscape is filled with romantic hideaways, meadows surrounded by forests, and a sandy-bottomed swimming hole. In the afternoon you ride to Třeboň, the center of Czech fishing as well as a town rich in Renaissance architecture with its own castle and spa. Overnight in Třeboň ( Hotel Zlatá Hvězda ) .

Day 2: Třeboň - České Budějovice - 45 km / 28 miles

Today several highlights await you! Quite and easy ride, leading firstly through pine forests and ponds to Hluboka nad Vltavou, arguably the most beautiful castle of Czech Republic. Don´t miss the castle tour! After lunch, continue on a new smooth cycle track Greenway 12 along the Vltava river to České Budejovice, the city, that gave the name to the famous Czech beer Budweisser Budvar. We reccommend you to taste the local beer specialities at Masne Kramy restaurant, the flag ship of Budvar Brewery. Overnight in České Budejovice ( Hotel Budweis ).

Day 3 - České Budějovice - Český Krumlov - 29 km / 18 miles or 52 km / 32 miles

Today there are two options. A relaxing route leads on the main cycle track Greenway 12, folowing the Vltava river valley through the picturesque villages including Zlata Koruna, with its famous 13th. century monastery and ending in Cesky Krumlov, the pearl of Czech Republic. You can spend the afternoon wandering through the narrow streets, visiting castle museum or just relaxing on the boat trip on the Vltava river. If 30km of cycling is not enough for you, choose the second option. The route leads through rolling terrain to Holasovice (UNESCO), village famous for its "village baroque style" houses and then climbes through Blansky Forest, with the highest peak Klet (1084m), to Cesky Krumlov.
