Modřany and Airport Točná

An easy ride through Modřanská rokle, along Vltava and airport Točná. If you do a little side trip at point 20 along the river, you will see the work of the beaver. He decided to cut a really substantial tree – see the title picture – so let us know whether he already finished theContinue reading “Modřany and Airport Točná”

Říčany – Southern Loop

The southern loop around Říčany you can start at the railway station, or at the main square in the town, where the parking on Sunday is free. The first part of the ride all the way to point 6 will lead you on very new dedicated bicycle path. Part of this stretch is actually goingContinue reading “Říčany – Southern Loop”

Prokopské and Dalejské údolí

We have described a similar ride earlier, but this time we discovered Dalejské údolí, which we missed earlier. And this was an unforgivable omission. Prokopské údolí is very well known and very intensely frequented by tourist in all seasons. Dalejské údolí is like a forgotten but more interesting sibling. You can start at the parkingContinue reading “Prokopské and Dalejské údolí”

Back in Nové Hrady

We came back to Novohradské hory to check out the new part along the border with Austria, and also to visit the artificial waterfall in Terčino valley and study its construction. As during our last visit we stayed in Zevlův Mlýn, where you can find reasonable accommodation, very good dinner and excellent locally brewed beer.Continue reading “Back in Nové Hrady”

Suchdol nad Lužnicí Loop

A pleasant ride with a negligible elevation gain. We described this loop earlier with addition of the visit of České Velenice, so you might see our comments there. The difference this time was the fact that connection 5 to 7 was closed for some reason, so we had to ride through Trpnouze and Hranice –Continue reading “Suchdol nad Lužnicí Loop”

Cherry Orchard in Bloom

A slightly modified ride from couple years ago which can be recommended for this time of the year when passing through the cherry orchard after point 17 is a highlight of the trip. If you are inclined to a little excitement, follow our map from 11 to 16. Otherwise you can avoid this sloping narrowContinue reading “Cherry Orchard in Bloom”

Dobřejovice

Easy ride with several very short adrenaline pieces. A convenient starting point is the parking lot at Hostivař dam, not very crowded out of the season. Parking there during a hot summer day would be tricky. The first part up to Dobrá voda is easy, but after that you have to decide whether to followContinue reading “Dobřejovice”
