 An unusual and fascinating bike tour - travel between two world-famous cities by bike! You will be captured by Dresden's reputation as “the Florence of the Elbe," visit the Semper Opera and admire the products of the porcelain factories in Meissen. Discover Moritzburg Castle near Dresden, one of Europe's most beautiful hunting palaces. Bike to Pillnitz Palace and pass the curved steel bridge called “The Blue Miracle."
Take a hike to the Bastei, the well-known lookout point in “Saxon Switzerland" with stunning vistas of the romantic Elbe Valley. You will pedal through the gardens of Bohemia and pass orchards on your way to the Baroque Ploskovice Palace and the famous wine village Melnik at the confluence of Elbe and Moldavia. Relax in comfortable hotels and follow the old transport trails along the Moldavia's dreamy course from Prague.
Prague, the Golden City and cultural highlight of this tour, will enchant you with a unique atmosphere created by the mix of modern life, rich history and cultural tradition. Experience the outstanding, well-preserved historical center of Prague on a guided tour and be amazed by the multitude of gold covered domes, fountains and statues - evidence of the city's former wealth.
Traveling in the Czech Republic is as safe as traveling in any western European country. It means safe biking on well maintained back roads and bike trails, and the local people will welcome you openly.
The Czech Republic is the youngest European country, born in 1993 when the Czechoslovak Federal Republic split into two independent states. It has a rich cultural heritage, however, and its cities, villages and spa towns rank among the world's top cultural and historical destinations. Although the country's forests and mountains have been inhabited since ancient times, you can still find wilderness with unique scenery. In the Czech Republic, you will pedal through the gardens of Bohemia, pass orchards, palaces and wine villages, and follow old trade routes and scenic rivers.
