Itinerary

• Day 1: Individual arrival in Prague
  Prague is easily accessible for your group by plane or train. If you prefer to travel by car, we recommend driving to Dresden, where you can park your cars at our partner hotel for the duration of the tour. From there, we offer a shuttle service that will take your group directly to Prague (to the Holešovice district, conveniently located near the cycle path). This way, you can start your cycling holiday from Prague to Dresden together, relaxed and carefree.

  Situated on both sides of the River Vltava, the Golden City has plenty to offer. Take a stroll through the Old Town Square and admire the Astronomical Clock. Then, walk over the famous Charles Bridge, with its sixteen arches, to Hradčany. The historic centre is easily explored on foot, and the friendly atmosphere in the shops, cafés, and wine bars makes Prague a delightful place for your group to visit.

• Day 3: Prague – Melnik (approx. 58 km)
  Today your group begins the cycling tour from Prague to Dresden. After breakfast, you will leave the Czech capital together and follow the Vltava River towards Mělník, the heart of the Bohemian wine-growing region. The castle in Mělník offers wonderful views of the confluence of the Vltava (Moldau) and Elbe (Czech: Labe) rivers and provides an ideal setting for a shared break along the route.

  From today onwards, the Elbe accompanies your group all the way to Dresden. The route leads via Roudnice to the former fortified town of Terezín before continuing on to Litoměřice, home to the famous chalice house. After today’s cycling, enjoy a relaxed stroll together through the charming old town, shaped by Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance architecture.

• Day 5: Leitmeritz – Decin (approx. 50 km)
  During today’s cycle tour, your group will ride through Ústí nad Labem, passing the ruins of castle Střekov before continuing along the Elbe towards Děčín. Once in Děčín, a visit to the baroque castle perched high above the river is well worthwhile. From here, the group can enjoy impressive views across the Elbe Valley and discover the place where Frédéric Chopin once sought inspiration.

  Leaving Děčín behind, your group cycles along the left bank of the river and soon crosses the border into Germany. On both sides of the Elbe, the striking rock formations of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains begin to rise, creating an impressive backdrop. Enjoy the fairytale-like scenery together as you continue your ride through this unique landscape to Bad Schandau. From there, the route continues past the Königstein Fortress and the famous Bastei, eventually leading you into the medieval town of Pirna, the gateway to Saxon Switzerland and the destination of today’s stage.

From there, the cycle path leads you directly into Dresden. Along the way, there is plenty of time to enjoy the scenic views of the picturesque Elbe Valley together. Upon arrival in Dresden, the historic city centre provides the perfect setting for a relaxed evening stroll and a pleasant farewell dinner in one of the many local restaurants.
