Overview

This relaxed cycling tour follows the Vltava and Elbe River from Prague to Dresden, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and gentle adventure. Designed as one of our easiest routes, this journey features shorter daily distances, mostly flat terrain, and breathtaking scenery.

Begin in the Czech capital and ride through river valleys, vineyards, and medieval towns. Explore the fairytale castles of Central Bohemia, the lush landscapes of the Czech Middle Mountains, and the otherworldly sandstone formations of the Czech-Saxon Switzerland National Park. Walk beneath Pravčická brána, the largest natural rock arch in Europe, and visit historical sites such as Terezín Fortress and Germany’s mighty Königstein.

Conclude your journey in Dresden, a city that vividly reflects both the cultural prosperity and the turbulent history of Germany. This tour is ideal for those seeking light cycling, scenic hiking, and rich historical insight - all at a comfortable pace.
