Cycling from the Czech Republic to Germany along the Vltava and Elbe Rivers, just imagine the romance of it all.

Starting from Prague, the City of a Hundred Spires, a UNESCO monument and one of the most beautiful locations in the world, you cycle to Dresden. Discover the magnificent promenades on the bank of the Elbe, interesting museums and architecture, world-class cultural life, charming hospitality and warm welcomes. Well-marked bike trails wind their ways through the countryside along the riverbanks, making this a relatively easy bike tour.

We start by cycling to Melník, the centre of winemaking in Bohemia then through the fertile countryside. Perhaps the most impressive part of the tour is the region called Czech and Saxon Switzerland. Bike along a steep-sided river valley with fantastic sandstone formations towering above you. Once in Germany, the bicycle trails are a joy to follow.

There are more than 200 long-distance bike routes in Germany set away from busy roads; some are completely car-free. Each route has its own name, and signs keep you headed in the right direction. Along the way, friendly German people provide riders with delicious regional cuisine, warm hospitality and a helping hand if you need one.
