Parking in Staré Město pod Landštejnem is very popular for bikers of all kinds. And it is a good point to start your trip which can include a little visit to Austria. And the bike paths in Austria are just perfect, maybe even boring.
The first surprise will wait for you at the village Dobrotín – see the title page picture. Another surprising sight you will enjoy at point 7 in a village Reingers, where they are obviously ready for the time when marihuana will become legal in Austria. After crossing back to Czechia at 9, you will be wondering why there is a roundabout at point 10 before arriving to Nová Bystřice at 11. At point 12 we originally planned to use the path going directly to point 14, but the path was blocked by electric fence. This electric fence may be there only sometimes, so you can try it yourself. At the point 14, on the other side of the pasture, the fence was opened and no cattle was at this pasture. So we used a regular road to point 13 before going back on the planned path.
We were worried about the stretch 15 to 19, but that part was just fine. However, the 20 to 21 was an adrenaline part, even having a fallen tree in the road. At point 22 you have a choice to follow the regular road to 24, or use a narrow path with nice views across the valley and Landštejn above you through point 23. But after 20 to 21, this part cannot scare you anymore. After 24 the only danger going down to Staré Město would be the speed of your ride downhill.
