Short Description

This 8-day easy cycling tour takes you from Prague to Vienna through Bohemian river valleys, UNESCO towns and Moravian wine country. You will pedal along the Elbe, cross into vineyard hills around Mikulov and roll into Austria's Weinviertel on quiet border roads.

Tour Program

Day 1: Arrival in Prague
You will arrive in Prague and check in at your hotel. The rest of the day is free to explore the city at your own pace.

Day 2: Prague – Nymburk – Kutná Hora (42 km)
In the morning you will take the train from Prague to Nymburk, where the cycling begins. You will follow an easy trail along the Elbe to the spa town of Poděbrady and on to Kolín with its Renaissance synagogue. Leaving the river, you will ride to Kutná Hora, the UNESCO-listed silver mining town crowned by the Gothic St Barbara's church.

Day 3: Kutná Hora – Pardubice (53 km)
You will start at the Sedlec ossuary, decorated with more than 30,000 bones, then pass the Classical chateau of Kačina. The route continues past the Kladruby national stud, home to a horse breed bred here since the 16th century, and Buňkov lake, where you can stop for a swim. You will end in Pardubice, the Czech capital of traditional gingerbread.

Day 4: Pardubice – Litomyšl (61 km)
You will leave the Elbe on rolling roads with views of Kunětická Hora castle and follow the river Loučná. Along the way you will pass the village of Vraclav and the town gates of Vysoké Mýto.

Day 5: Litomyšl – Svitavy or Březová – Brno (50 km)
You will choose between two options. The shorter one goes directly to Svitavy, where you will take the train to Brno and have most of the day to explore the cathedral and the UNESCO-listed Villa Tugendhat. The longer one follows the Loučná through small villages with a detour to Polička, known for its medieval walls and brewery, before the train from Březová nad Svitavou to Brno.

Day 6: Brno – Mikulov (60 km)
You will follow the gentle river Svratka past the monastery of Rajhrad and the chateau of Židlochovice into the Moravian vineyards.

The day ends in the wine town of Mikulov.

Day 7: Mikulov – Lednice-Valtice – Poysdorf – Vienna (28 km)
You will ride along the Iron Curtain road into the UNESCO Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape, where parks and ponds link two chateaux.
