Again, our favorite “Český Les”. The village Železná, which sits on the Czechia – Germany border is a convenient starting point for several E-bike trips. Accommodation in the resort Český Les can be strongly recommended. And as any place close to the German border it is flooded by plastic junk of garden gnomes (see theContinue reading “Železná in Český Les – Climb to Pleš”

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”
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”
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”
Luková Ghost Church
We visited the “ghost church” in Luková five years ago and we were wondering whether it still stands since it seemed like it was ready to fall apart. And it seemed like the countryside around Žlutice was ready to be visited by our bikes. The first surprise was visible already from far away – theContinue reading “Luková Ghost Church”
Boží Dar – Abertamy
We visited Boží Dar earlier and decided to make another trip to the top of Krušné hory. The surroundings of Boží Dar are beautiful in any season and this was a little later in the year. We think that May or June is an optimal time given its popularity. Boží Dar is very busy inContinue reading “Boží Dar – Abertamy”
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”
Manětín
Grateful for another autumn day we decided we should explore more of the interior regions of Czech Republic. The drive itself was worth it as it went through more agricultural areas than urban. The region is covered with hops fields and you can stop in the town of Krušovice (https://krusovice.cz/en/historie) to try their beer whichContinue reading “Manětín”
