The 55 kilometers of cycling are especially scenic: a beautiful region cut by the Elbe River in the Bohemian Gate and passing from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains to the Bohemian Uplands.

Early in the morning, the MS Florentina departs for the starting point of today's cycling stage in Roudnice.

Walk in the footsteps of Kafka, visit one of the unique museums or soak up the impressions of your vacation and Prague in one of the many cafes on the banks of the Vltava River.

Today you will cycle to the Prague district of Zbraslav, located a few kilometers up the Moldau River. On the way, stop at Vyšehrad, one of the most famous early medieval castle ramparts in Bohemia. The fortress sits on a cliff steeply above the bank of the Vltava River, which since the early 20th century can be traversed by a tunnel. Upon your return to the MS Florentina, you can spend a final evening in Prague.
