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”

Říčany

Nice and easy spring ride. Starting at the parking at the train station Říčany. You will quickly arrive at the pond Jureček and restaurant U Jurečka – it is the place where something is happening all the time. The last time we visited we saw a huge selection of fish for sale – it wasContinue reading “Říčany”

Short Prague loop

This is a very short ride which you can combine with many potential rides through this beautiful city. Maybe you can combine it with some of our earlier maps… We just wanted to point to some interesting features which you can find in this map. At the start point you will be entering the “scary”Continue reading “Short Prague loop”

Poděbrady Nymburk Libice – Easy short ride

This is the ideal ride for starting your season when you just want to check whether your bike will still work. We did this one a long time ago (about 10 years ago) and now we realized that the bike path had a lot of improvements – new surface in many places and new bridgesContinue reading “Poděbrady Nymburk Libice – Easy short ride”

Železná in Český Les – Northern Loop

After riding along the border with Germany to point 3, we tried to find the geocache at the very border. This part was not bike accessible so we had to push hard to the abandoned border crossing where the cache should be hidden. But no luck this time… After point 6 you will have toContinue reading “Železná in Český Les – Northern Loop”

Crossing the Stream – Kaznějov

This ride was definitely not for the weak! Climbing over and under fallen trees and crossing the stream about million times… Definitely mountain bike and a little experience in riding through the rough terrain would help. Parking in Kaznějov was easy and restaurant Modrý Hrozen was good choice for our lunch. Yellow tourist mark leadsContinue reading “Crossing the Stream – Kaznějov”

Mirotice – If you like a Torture

We started from Mirotice, a place where Mikoláš Aleš was born. The blue tourist mark path is named for this famous Czech artist – you can find his creations on many houses in Prague. And it was quite an art to follow this blue path. From 3 to 4 you are passing under the highwayContinue reading “Mirotice – If you like a Torture”

Checking with the Beaver on Rokytka

Last time we rode very similar loop in Prague, we noticed the beaver’s work in the meanders of Rokytka stream. So, we had to check on his progress… Well, there was this report in National Geographic of the beaver in Brdy who built the dam much faster and with much less paperwork and expense thanContinue reading “Checking with the Beaver on Rokytka”

Loop with Kokořín view – Winter Walk

A short walk which we would never try with bikes – stairs and ladders would make it rather difficult. But for the winter month it was a nice break with no tourists in sight. There is a couple of options to park your car, the best starting point is at the Restaurant Pobuda, but theContinue reading “Loop with Kokořín view – Winter Walk”

Walk around Kellner’s estate

Mister Kellner was the richest person of Czechia and one of the richest people in the world. His company, PPF Group, is globally known and respected. Not surprisingly, Kellner’s “garden” in Podkozí has a fence 5 km long. It is actually game reserve for fallow deer. We decided to walk around this forest and findContinue reading “Walk around Kellner’s estate”

Checking Vítkov after New Year Fireworks

Version of this blog we posted exactly one year ago… And this year it was exactly the same, nice weather and big mess under the statue. This time we were looking for another geocache and on the way there we discovered “a carousel”, a circular ride connecting the bridge to the ground (7). And itContinue reading “Checking Vítkov after New Year Fireworks”

Mníšek Líšnice Loop

If you follow our trips, you already know that our starting point in Mníšek pod Brdy is close to the entrance to the castle. This time, however, most of our E-bike trip was on the other side of the highway. And, even though it was Saturday, we did not meet too many people there, unlikeContinue reading “Mníšek Líšnice Loop”

Český Les

One of our followers pointed out that we were ignoring one of the areas of Czech Republic which he considers as a “must go” which was Český Les (Czech forest). We really hadn’t visited this area on the western border with Germany before. And, yes, we were surprised. It is as pretty as Šumava NationalContinue reading “Český Les”

Litoměřice Roudnice Loop

This was a very relaxing ride along the Labe river. At this time of year in Autumn you will see why this part of the Czechia is called the most fertile “polabská nížina“, or sometimes “zahrada Čech” (garden of Czechia). We have a true appreciation for all the agricultural products being grown here. You canContinue reading “Litoměřice Roudnice Loop”

Úvaly to Masaryčka

You can catch a train from the Masarykovo railway station to Úvaly every 30 minutes. And from there you can enjoy a nice and easy ride back to the Masaryčka station. In the Klánovice forest you may find a lot of delicious mushrooms! The only difficult part of this trip is between 9 to 10Continue reading “Úvaly to Masaryčka”

Kladruby in Autumn

This is an ideal ride in autumn. And this year was unbelievable for the mushroom hunters. Mushrooms were everywhere, and some sizes were impressive. We reported on this area earlier in the spring, when the horses were out in the pastures. This is a protected UNESCO site known for its tradition in horse breeding culture,Continue reading “Kladruby in Autumn”

Optimizing Loops Around Modrava

Šumava is our favorite place to go for E-bike rides. So we went there again to show it to our daughter and her fiancé. Obviously we would not fit in our car with the bikes, so we had to rent locally. We tried new Apache and Crussis E-bikes. And, actually we did not see anyContinue reading “Optimizing Loops Around Modrava”

Strašice to Láz and back (2x across Brdy)

This time we started in the parking lot in Strašice because we were picking another E-bike for our friend visiting from the America. And it is not a bad idea to start from there since our usual parking at the entrance to CHKO can be pretty crowded. Besides, if you need to rent the bike,Continue reading “Strašice to Láz and back (2x across Brdy)”

Český Šternberk/Sázava

Parking in Český Šternberk can be tricky especially on weekends since this castle is quite popular destination. The best guess in the morning is the parking close to the river. This parking is also used by the people renting the canoe here for the trip down Sázava. After following the river for about 4 kmContinue reading “Český Šternberk/Sázava”

Brdy from Řevnice

This E-bike trip is a compilation of several visits of the North side of Brdy. Starting from Řevnice is quite convenient – you can get there by car or train (restaurant at the train station is actually a new brewery – highly recommended). We tried to find the path up to the top of theContinue reading “Brdy from Řevnice”

Pohorská Ves – Novohradské Hory

This ride is recommended for people who are not keen on meeting lots of other bikers on their trip. Starting point was the tiny parking lot in Pohorská Ves. We rode this one earlier this year, weather was not the best, and end result was that there were no bikers on the whole trip. AsContinue reading “Pohorská Ves – Novohradské Hory”

Žďár nad Sázavou and UNESCO Site Zelená Hora

You can start at the parking lot marked on the map, but it could be busy and you may have an easier job finding it elsewhere in the town. The biggest attraction of this trip is the UNESCO site Zelená hora (Green hill),  very unique Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, designed by theContinue reading “Žďár nad Sázavou and UNESCO Site Zelená Hora”

Svratka and Devět skal

Svratka or Herálec are convenient starting points for exploring this area of Ždárské vrchy (protected area) on the border of Bohemia and Moravia. We started at the square at Svratka, but another good starting point is at 2, in front of the castle Karlštejn (not the one built by Charles IV on Berounka river). ItContinue reading “Svratka and Devět skal”

Pilgrimage to Jan Palach Memorial

I must admit that the goal of this E-bike trip was the lunch at the best restaurant in Neratovice – “Terasa” – at point 16 next to the railway bridge over Labe. And as usual, it did not disappoint. Parking at the small square next to it is convenient and free. You can also arriveContinue reading “Pilgrimage to Jan Palach Memorial”

El Paso, Mexico – Brdy

Well, we did not go to another continent to visit El Paso, it is actually “trampská osada” (tramp settlement) from the 1920ies, formed by three friends in the place of abandoned quarry which was ruined by the water eruption forming a tiny lake in the bottom of the quarry. The lake is still there togetherContinue reading “El Paso, Mexico – Brdy”

UNESCO Site Kladruby

We knew that Kladruby are listed in UNESCO for their horses, but we did not know that UNESCO is protecting Kladruby for the unique countryside created by the hundreds of years of horse rearing. And yes, horses were everywhere… Your ride may conveniently start at the square at Týnec nad Labem, or if you willContinue reading “UNESCO Site Kladruby”

Dobříš to Hluboš (Torture)

Oh yes, Brdy again… This time we explored the part around Čenkov and Hluboš, where for some reason we never went before. And the reason for that revealed itself very soon. The red tourist mark from 5 to 15 is really not intended for biking… Most of it is actually rideable, but several pieces areContinue reading “Dobříš to Hluboš (Torture)”

Nové Hrady

If you liked biking with us in Šumava, you may enjoy E-bike trip in Novohradské Hory even better. There were no people! During two days of our biking around we did not meet any bicyclists. We found a base in Zevlův Mlýn where you can find accomodation, restaurant, beer spa, and anything you can wishContinue reading “Nové Hrady”

Hrádek nad Nisou – Lužické hory

Once we were last summer in Lužické hory, it was obvious that we can do a ride through three countries – Czechia, Germany, and Poland. So we started from Hrádek nad Nisou and after a couple of minutes we arrived at point 2 (Trojmezí), where you can see all three countries at the same time.Continue reading “Hrádek nad Nisou – Lužické hory”

Cvikov – Lužické hory

The best starting point for this trip we found at the brewery/hotel Cvikov. We stayed there and we can recommend their beer wholeheartedly. The ride will lead you through the typical Lužické hory (Lusatian mountains) countryside with far-reaching vistas intermingled with deep forests. Between point 3 and 5 you will see the best example ofContinue reading “Cvikov – Lužické hory”

Kytín – Mníšek – Dobříš

Kytín is a convenient starting point for exploring Brdy mountain range. The best parking you will find close to the local brewery (hint, hint…). We have blogged about out rides in Brdy many times, you can see some earlier blogs here, here, here, or here… This time we wanted to visit Dobříš, the town famousContinue reading “Kytín – Mníšek – Dobříš”

Both sides of Labe

This is E-bike trip we made earlier in the year, but it could be a good one even for the colder days of December. However, with snow on the ground we would not recommend this one. Especially the part illustrated on the title picture might be difficult to navigate, it was tricky even in September.Continue reading “Both sides of Labe”

Rožmitál pod Třemšínem – Brdy

We wanted to complete our exploration of Brdy by covering the southwesternmost part of this mountain range. We visited Rožmitál pod Třemšínem earlier, but never got to the top of Třemšín. So, this was the day to fix that omission. You can usually park on the square in Rožmitál, but this time all the parkingContinue reading “Rožmitál pod Třemšínem – Brdy”

Suchdol to Velenice

A pleasant E-bike trip with no significant part on bumpy concrete panels that are so common around Třeboň. Finding a parking spot in Suchdol is not a big problem, in the worst case you can use the Penny’s parking and become a customer there. We usually avoid regular roads, but it was inevitable here. However,Continue reading “Suchdol to Velenice”

Ještěd and Kryštofovo Údolí

Kryštofovo Údolí was recently pronounced to be a village conservation zone, that is a protected heritage area. And it is well deserved, the village is really perfectly maintained. We found a perfect lodging at the place “U Uhlířů“, an old typical village house transformed into a pension and restaurant. Mrs. Houšková will make your stay specialContinue reading “Ještěd and Kryštofovo Údolí”

Hot day = Lhota lake

We have described this E-bike trip earlier, but let us add some comments: Many beaches along the path, however the best is lake Lhota. Busy on weekends, but in any case, use the free access at point 9. As you can see below, the official beach is much busier than the free one. Careful atContinue reading “Hot day = Lhota lake”

Milešov – České středohoří

The Bohemian Central Highlands (České středohoří) is the area which we neglected up to now. So, it was the high time to fix that. We started our E-bike trip from Milešov, a village under the highest mountain of this mountain range Milešovka. Even though some people get to the top with their bikes, we didContinue reading “Milešov – České středohoří”

Mnichovice – Voděradské bučiny

One of our followers suggested that we go back to Voděradské bučiny and give it another look. Our earlier E-bike trip started from Jevany, but this time we found the parking lot on Masaryk square in Mnichovice. There was a little path overlap, but since we run it in the opposite direction, we did notContinue reading “Mnichovice – Voděradské bučiny”

Rakovník – Křivoklát

This is a very simple E-bike trip which you can do on any type of bike. Just enjoy following the little stream of Rakovnický potok from Rakovník all the way to Křivoklát castle. And if you did not visit this castle, you may do it on this trip. You will be riding through a wideContinue reading “Rakovník – Křivoklát”

Prague circle and Třešňovka

Our favorite loop through Prague, which we described already several times. However, we discovered several points which are urgently reported right now (end of June). There is “Třešňobraní” (Cherry picking) at point 21! And from 25th of June it is free for all! And as we can report, there is still a lot of cherriesContinue reading “Prague circle and Třešňovka”

Brdy – The Kingdom of Digitalis

Yes, Brdy mountain range is taken over during June by Digitalis purpurea, called Náprstník červený in Czech. So, if you want to see fields and fields of flowering Digitalis, this is the time to go to Brdy. You cannot miss them, they are everywhere. We started this E-bike ride at the convenient parking lot atContinue reading “Brdy – The Kingdom of Digitalis”

Beroun and Nižbor

Riding through “green tunnels”, open fields, and along the river. There is plenty places to park your car in Beroun, or even coming by train from Prague and not having to look for parking. As usual, we were trying to avoid riding on regular roads, but in this case it was unavoidable. The first off-roadContinue reading “Beroun and Nižbor”

Milovice

For this E-bike trip you can use a train connection to Milovice from Praha Masarykovo nádraží. The trip takes about 40 minutes and you can start your ride there on the map point 22. The strange construction there is the automated bicycle storage, where you can leave your bicycle 24 hours for 5 Czech crowns.Continue reading “Milovice”

Modrava/Poledník (west loop)

This is the E-bike trip idea which you can combine with some of our other trips in Šumava, especially with the Modrava east loop. The total would be just over 60 km, totally doable on an electric bike. We stayed at hotel Modrava so it made sense to do this trip with our visiting familyContinue reading “Modrava/Poledník (west loop)”

Modrava/Kvilda (east loop)

This is the E-bike trip idea which you can combine with some of our other trips in Šumava, especially with the Modrava west loop. The total would be just over 60 km, totally doable on an electric bike. We stayed at hotel Modrava so it made sense to do this trip with our visiting familyContinue reading “Modrava/Kvilda (east loop)”

Josefův Důl – Jizera Mountains

We found a good parking spot for this E-bike trip loop in front of the hotel Peklo (Hell). And it could be the best characterization of the starting climb to the top of Jizerské hory, or the very last 800m of the ride. Anyway, with the electric bike it is doable, but I would likeContinue reading “Josefův Důl – Jizera Mountains”

Želízy – Kokořínsko

This is the E-bike ride for people who already know Kokořínsko and want to see it from a little different perspective. If it is your first visit, pick one of several rides we already reported here or especially the long one described here. We started on a parking lot operated by Mrs. Šimůnková, just becauseContinue reading “Želízy – Kokořínsko”

Peklo, Zahrádky u České Lípy

We call this E-bike ride “Around Hell” because it will lead you around natural preserve called Peklo, which in Czech means Hell. If you will have more time, you can walk through that narrow valley following the red mark as we did earlier. The best time to visit this location is during March when itContinue reading “Peklo, Zahrádky u České Lípy”

Buštěhrad, Lidice, Kladno

Very uneventful ride on a nice spring day. Parking was easy next to the playground on a quiet street in Buštěhrad, a nice small town with quite a rich history. If you have never been to Lidice, you should visit the memorial to the victims of the terror of the WWII, especially the children’s memorialContinue reading “Buštěhrad, Lidice, Kladno”

Natural Preserve Zámky – Winter walks

A short walk for winter weather. A sunny afternoon would be an ideal situation for this walk. You can start at a small parking lot in front of the animal cemetery if you arrive by car, or at point 5 (Zámky) if you arrive by bus. You can read about the animal cemetery or theContinue reading “Natural Preserve Zámky – Winter walks”

Přemyšlení

A rather short ride in Prague neighborhoods and along the Vltava River. (For learning about the Prague neighborhoods, check the video created by our friend, the famous video blogger Jen of Prague.) You can start at the parking in front of the Písecká brána, the gate from the medieval times’ fortification of Prague. This historicalContinue reading “Přemyšlení”

Mirošov, Brdy

This was one of the nicest rides in Brdy. Well, most of the rides in Brdy are pretty pleasant, even in winter. But sometimes you can get into tricky situations even here… We started in Mirošov and took a little detour through Dobřív, where you can visit the unique technical rarity – vodní hamr (water-poweredContinue reading “Mirošov, Brdy”

Únětice

An interesting short loop with a break for lunch at the Únětice brewery. We rode it earlier and we would not recommend this for the ride today with the fresh snow on the ground. Especially the part from 4 to 5 that was steep down and slippery already then… Rather walk your bike down unlessContinue reading “Únětice”

Kvilda Loop – Šumava

This was one of our favorite rides in Šumava. Starting from Kvilda, going through Modrava, along Modravský potok to the top of Šumava and along the border to Knížecí Pláně. Starting from the parking in Kvilda you can join the yellow tourist mark basically following the asphalt road. It is a much bumpier ride, butContinue reading “Kvilda Loop – Šumava”

Šumava – Strážný

Another ride through German side of Šumava.  This time “halb und halb”, half on the Czech side, half in Germany. This time only a short path was really steep uphill but in the end a nice reward of a long ride downhill. A very short part of this trip is on the side of aContinue reading “Šumava – Strážný”

Železná Ruda – Šumava

We have explored Šumava quite thoroughly (see our earlier blogs), but we never crossed to the German side. And, of course, it would not be Šumava but Bayerisher Wald. So, we had to do it. We started from Železná Ruda, the village just on the border with Germany, famous for the large population of beavers,Continue reading “Železná Ruda – Šumava”

The new Černý’s Piece in Prague

Of course, we had to go there as soon as they put the head on the top of the largest statue in Prague. Taller than Žižka on Vítkov, but not taller than Stalin used to be before it was blown up… We believe that we visited all of Černý’s creations over the years, so weContinue reading “The new Černý’s Piece in Prague”

Brdy Loop from Kytín

It is this time of the year again when you can stop almost anywhere to pick and taste the blackberries or yellow or red mirabelles. This loop through Brdy will give you many opportunities to binge on these fruits. We started this ride in the tiny parking lot in Kytín, next to the brewery-restaurant Kytín.Continue reading “Brdy Loop from Kytín”

Stromovka and Letní Letná – Prague

When we come back to Prague, the first ride leads us to Stromovka or Královská obora (Royal game preserve), the park which was not founded but greatly improved by Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor, in 16th century. Riding through this park is very pleasant, especially in the summer evenings with sun setting over majesticContinue reading “Stromovka and Letní Letná – Prague”

Mysterious Stone Arrays of Kounov

You probably know everything there is to know about Stonehenge, but I am almost certain that you’ve never heard about the Mysterious stone arrays of Kounov in Czech Republic. According to one of the theories, these arrays could have been used for the same purpose as the structures of Stonehenge. You will be able to exploreContinue reading “Mysterious Stone Arrays of Kounov”

Labské Pískovce and Sněžník

Even though this ride is on the border with Germany, it is not much more than an hour’s drive from Prague. We started at the small village Sněžník, which is ready for a lot of tourists coming from both sides of the border. Parking is abundant at the starting point, but if you don’t wantContinue reading “Labské Pískovce and Sněžník”

Karlova Ves – Crazy ride

We decided to explore the last piece of Křivoklátsko area which was missing from our collection. And from the map, it seemed like a nice short ride with a little questionable piece, which could have been easily avoided. In our experience, when the map says “Entry of bicycles prohibited” it does not mean anything inContinue reading “Karlova Ves – Crazy ride”

Pravda Ruin – Domoušice – Winter Walk

Nice walk with a little climb up and down to the castle ruin Pravda (Truth). This ruin is one of the largest we have seen around here. And it was relatively very short-lived – founded in the 15th century and abandoned in the 16th – after it was burned down by the Swede army. YouContinue reading “Pravda Ruin – Domoušice – Winter Walk”

Nižbor to Křivoklát

Well, this is a new blog about the ride from last year. This means that some of the observations may have possibly changed. This was a quite challenging and enjoyable ride, so we thought that it may deserve a spot here. We started from Nižbor again. You can use a large parking lot at theContinue reading “Nižbor to Křivoklát”

Stradonice Nižbor – Winter Walk

Even though we did this walk in the winter, it may be nice at any time of the year. The only part which is tricky when it is slippery (rain or snow) is the very sharp descent from the Stradonické oppidum to point 6. That part is definitely not passable with bicycles! The best placeContinue reading “Stradonice Nižbor – Winter Walk”

Ládví, Prague

There are still little rides in Prague that we did not completely documented. This one is a combination of perfect bike paths and challenging struggles. We start again from Letná, where finding parking is easy. After riding through Stromovka, you cross the new bridge over Vltava and continue straight to go around the botanical garden.Continue reading “Ládví, Prague”

Davle – Jílové circle

We like this area and we started a couple of our hikes in Davle before we were completely turned into E-bikers. We had our regular bikes before, but this area seemed too challenging for us. However with E-MTB nothing seems out of reach anymore. However, for this particular ride we would not recommend a regularContinue reading “Davle – Jílové circle”

Nové Hutě – Šumava

As soon as we could, we returned to Šumava without hordes of tourists. Our base was an AirBnB at paní Lenka place in Nové Hutě. The problem in Nové Hutě is the lack of willing workers and therefore no open restaurants. Well, not exactly. If the sign in front of restaurant says “Food and drinksContinue reading “Nové Hutě – Šumava”

Mšec and Nové Strašecí

Very relaxing trip through the “hop country”. Convenient point to start the loop is a large parking space in Mšec. We have chosen that village for a nostalgic reasons: Michal worked in Mšec during his high school studies on the “hop picking brigade”. What was happening during these brigades was very well depicted in aContinue reading “Mšec and Nové Strašecí”

Bušohrad or “You may not see any bikers”

If you are tired of riding along “cyklostezky” along with hundreds of your fellow bikers, you may consider this ride. You may not meet anybody, during the workday it is almost guranteed. Besides 1 km on the road just before the end of a trip, you will be on forest roads, none of which isContinue reading “Bušohrad or “You may not see any bikers””

Hlavenec and Lake Lhota

This ride can be called “Mirabelky circle” (“Yellow plum circle”). This is the time when mirabelky (or špendlíky in Czech) are ripe and unbelievably plentiful. They are found everywhere along the roads and paths. And apparently nobody is picking them. It is true that they have relatively large ratio of pit to the meat, butContinue reading “Hlavenec and Lake Lhota”

Around Lhota Lake

We have been to this area several times in summer and in the winter. It is especially rewarding in the summer hot days. We discovered the recreational Lhota lake where you can swim and lay in the sand. We always carried (although not necessary) our bathing suits and towels on the summer rides just inContinue reading “Around Lhota Lake”

Two rides around Český Krumlov

Český Krumlov is one of the most popular destinations in Czech Republic. For that reason we recommend not going there in the high tourist season. But just in case you will go there, May or June may be perfect. If you want to splurge on accommodation, you can stay in a fancy hotel “Růže” (Rose)Continue reading “Two rides around Český Krumlov”

Liběchov Kokořín Houska

This was one of our longer summer rides through Kokořínsko, a very scenic area with a lot of sandstone formations. Sandstone was an ideal material for the local artist Václav Levý, who created many sculptures while he worked on the castle Liběchov. We started the route at the castle and followed part of the circleContinue reading “Liběchov Kokořín Houska”

Příchovice – Jizera Mountains

This area is near and dear to Michal’s heart and is where the family mountain cottage is located. In the middle of a ski slope in the protected area of Paseky is where we stayed for a few days to really get a feel for our new electric bikes. The goal of this ride wasContinue reading “Příchovice – Jizera Mountains”

Rožmitál pod Třemšínem

Brdy is probably our favorite destination. It is not far from Prague and there are so many possibilities for a nice not crowded ride. This time we started from Rožmitál pod Třemšínem, a small town at the western edge of Brdy. If you never heard about Jakub Jan Ryba, it probably means that you didContinue reading “Rožmitál pod Třemšínem”
