Day 1: Individual arrival in Prague
Welcome to your bike tour from Prague to Vienna! An early arrival in the Golden City is recommended, so you can also enjoy one of Europe's most beautiful cities to the fullest. Stroll past the Astronomical Clock, across the Charles Bridge to Prague Castle! From here you have a breathtaking view of the city. In the evening, try the famous Czech beer in one of the many small pubs.
Day 2: Prague – Sedlčany, approx. 65 km
Along the Vltava River, you will leave the urban jungle and soon encounter small, idyllic Bohemian villages. You will enjoy the varied hilly landscape and marvel at the many small houses with wood-clad gables along the way. You will pass numerous pubs where you should take a break and taste the Czech cuisine. How about roast pork, dumplings and sauerkraut?
Day 3: Sedlčany – Písek, approx. 70 km
Also today you will cycle mostly along the Vltava River. You will cross the Bohemian Forest and again encounter numerous picturesque villages. Soon you will reach the Vltava reservoir at Milešov and continue cycling to Orlík. Visit the Gothic castle perched on a rocky spur above the Vltava River. Just a few kilometers further, the next castle awaits you. On a small promontory at the confluence of the Vltava and Otava rivers lies Zvíkov Castle. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the most important castles in Bohemia. Your stage destination today is the picturesque small town of Písek on the tributary of the Vltava - the gold-rich Otava.
Day 4: Písek – České Budějovice, approx. 70 km
On today's stage you will mainly follow the Vltava River. The fascinating primeval and cultural landscapes will inspire you. On the way you will meet one of the oldest South Bohemian towns - Týn nad Vitavou. A small forest path will lead you to the next highlight - Hluboká Castle with an impressive park. High above the Vltava River towers the magnificent building, which once originated from a castle. Windsor Castle was the model for this, which can be clearly seen. Your stage destination is České Budějovice, famous for its beer. After the day's exertions, don't miss out on a taste. Cheers!
Day 5: České Budějovice – Gmünd, approx. 55 km
Through meadows and forests you cycle through beautiful landscapes in the middle of a nature reserve - a dreamlike experience for every cyclist! The so-called South Bohemian Pond Plateau was created by pond farming, which has been developed for a long time. Enjoy the peace and take a break on the shore! Architecture and culture are not neglected today either: picturesque villages, historic buildings and old fortresses line your way. You will cross the border to Austria and spend the night in the border town of Gmünd.
Day 6: Gmünd – Rosenburg / Gars am Kamp, approx. 65 / 70 km
Continue through the north of Lower Austria - through the so-called forest quarter (Waldviertel). The area, characterized by numerous river and pond landscapes, lets you really enjoy the wonderful nature once again! You cycle through seemingly endless forests full of originality. Don't miss the Waldviertel cuisine, which is famous far beyond Austria's borders. Typically, freshly caught carp with potatoes is served here. Enjoy!
Day 7: Rosenburg – Hadersdorf – Tulln – Vienna, approx. 70 / 65 km + train ride
On the last stage of your cycling tour from Prague to Vienna you cycle on the Kamptal cycle path. Via the wine town of Langenlois you will reach Hadersdorf. You can now catch sight of the first vineyards. By train you ride comfortably to the garden city of Tulln. The last kilometers of your bike tour will bring you to the Danube metropolis Vienna. Don't miss the numerous magnificent buildings from the imperial era. If your legs are too tired, you can take a ride in a Fiaker. As a little refreshment in between, enjoy a Sacher cake in one of the traditional coffee houses!
