Tour description: Karlstejn castle by bike.

Karlstejn is one of the most beautiful castles in the Czech Republic and we recommend seeing it! There is nothing better than to leave Prague’s suburbs behind, go along rivers in which we can jump in case of very hot weather, cross little villages, drink fresh and cheap beer, cycle on cycling path full of flowers  and then see the castle appearing in front of you in all its magnificence. A day full of  fun that completes your Prague experience.

Logistic: Meeting point is our office in Lidicka 8, 15000 Andel, Praha 5. We are based in a shop called Tribo. Normally we started our tours at 9.00 a.m but we can agree on another time if you wish to. On the way back we’ ll take a train  from Karlstejn and the tour will end back in Andel, where we began.

Cycling path along Vltava riverbank:

After leaving the centre of Prague, we will cycle along the Vltava River. We will see how the Czechs make up for the lack of the sea using the river. We will pass through small and medium sized towns as well as crossing bridges and parks.

 

 

Cycling path along Berounka riverbank:

We will leave Vltava river to join the cycling path along the Berounka river, much smaller and equally charming. The banks of river Berounka  are perfect places to host several cottages and green areas where the Czechs from the capital like to take refuge at the weekend. We might as well join them bathing in the clean and refreshing water of the river. Since this is a classic route for locals along the way we’ll find numerous pubs and refreshing areas of all kinds.

 Karlstejn:

The cycling path along the Berounka river will bring us straight at the doors of the imposing castle of Karlstejn, built by the great monarch Charles IV to protect the crown jewels, the state archives and library from the fury of the Hussites. Here you can visit the castle and cool off in one of the many pubs and restaurants before taking the train that will take us back in half an hour to where we first met – Andel metro station.
