Prague to Vienna
Road Bike Exclusive Private Package
A premium bike holiday from Prague to Vienna through hidden Eastern and Central Europe with van support. Not only you are going to see two of the most beautiful European Capital cities but you are going to explore hidden corners of Bohemia seldom touched by tourism but so dear to locals.
Among the highlights are the medieval city of Hluboka nad Vltavou, Cesky Krumlov and Durnstein.
We will connect the land of beer to the land of wine. We will ride over rolling hills, through forests, along hundreds of lakes in the Czech Canada and will zig zag through many vineyards. We will taste both great beer and fine wine. The tour can be done also from Vienna to Prague without loosing any appeal.
Price per person
790 € single room supplement
You need only van support?
Our “Exclusive Package” includes one guide in the van and one on the bike. We like to take great care of our clients and believe that a guide on the bike is essential for you to get the best our of your trip. But of course we understand if you would like to be alone with your partner or family. In this case we would just support you with the van and all the logistic and give you a professional Garmin gps with loaded tracks and a road book. In this case the price of the package would be also lower.

DAY 1 - From Prague to Tabor

The first stage of the trip is the more demanding as we have fresh legs. We will go to Pruhonice, a beautiful castle on the outskirt of Prague, by van and we will start pedaling from there.

With its ancient network of cannels and ponds, peaceful forests, remarkable historical attractions and traditional village architecture this area is among the most important local tourist destinations in the Czech Republic. The natural centre of the region is the bath town Třeboň.
The long-standing tradition of fish-farming creates a very genuine atmosphere in the town and its surroundings. After visiting Trebon we will head further east toward Slavonice, 1 km from the Austrian border. On the way there we will visit Landstejn castle ruin and on of the biggest open air bunker museum in the country. Slavonice is very popular for its preserved renaissance town centre, for the underground tunnel system dating back to the 12th century.
