The Wild River-trail

MTB & E-MTB | Private

A stunning and hard XC mtb ride above the Sazava river gorge

A long and difficult bike ride along the Sazava river gorge on a spectacular trail with a stunning view of the gorge underneath.

The Sazava river dug is way through the Czech hills creating many meanders and spectacular rocky cliffs. This valley is one of the best spots close to Prague for outdoor lovers. Stunning nature, rocks, water, authentic villages and pubs.

We will start from Prague where we will follow the Vlatava river until we will climb Tocna hill to do some difficult and succulent advanced single track. After the last downhill we will arrive at the confluence between Vltava and Sazava where we will start climbing again to reach and ride the beautiful 20 km trail above the gorge until we will reach the village where we will get the train back to Prague. Also the 1 hour trip by train is a very good one as the railway runs very high on the other side of the gorge with very spectacular views of the river below.

If you are not tired we can keep riding toward Prague and get the train later as there are many station on the way.

Schedule

Advanced bike tours are only private so this tour runs everyday all year long.

Biking tour to karlstejn castle

The reason why we don’t run advanced group tours is that, based on our experience after riding with thousands clients, riders have very different level of fitness and technical skills and this can lead to a loss of quality of the tour.

Logistic

Meeting point is our office in Vratislavova 508/3, Praha 2. The tour starts at 9.00 a.m.  The tour will end at our shop.

Tour highlights
Cycling path along Vltava riverbank:

We will start our trip by getting the cycle path along the Vltava River that runs a few meters from our shop. We will see how the Czech people use the river to make up for the lack of the sea. This path is the most famous place for people from Prague who want to have a work out running, cycling or rollerblading in a nice environment just a few minutes from the city center.

Točna hill:

We will leave the cycle path and we will start climbing Točna hill, a paradise for mountain biking. Once on top we will do some quality mountain biking including technical uphills and fast and difficult downhills, before arriving back at the river, where we will have climbed and descended the hill twice.

 

The Sazava river:

After the last Tocna’s downhill we will arrive back at the Vltava river which we will follow for few kilometers. After that we will start climbing another hill, once on top a nice downhill will take us to the confluence between Sazava and Vltava rivers. There our river-trail begins, we will follow an old commercial route that follows beside the river constantly climbing until it runs high on the river gorge, giving the lucky traveller a beautiful panorama of the river below . We will also see a lot of beautiful cottages, villages and of course we will do some nice mountain biking! after which arriving at Kamenny Privoz, a village where we will take our train back.

Uniqueness

Our tours are rigorously off-the-beaten-path and as we run small groups, the places we go to, stay pristine. We are the first outdoor company in Prague and we continue to innovate year after year.

“Wanted a challenging MTB ride and BIKO delivered. Filippo was my private guide for his Wild river adventure which took us through Prague’s parks and country side with some challenging climbs, and downhills, nice combination. We had lunch along the way and finished with a beer and train ride home. Fantastic experience well worth the time the money!!”
John from USATrip Advisor
“We loved every minute. The climbs were worth it because of the view and the downs were amazing. Also the singletrack, was the best singletrack we have ever done. Thanks for putting on the best tour we have ever done. It made our holiday so memorable.”
