A long part of the tour tracks the Prague-Vienna Greenway, which runs through the Southern Bohemia close to the Austrian borderline from Mikulov to Jindrichuv Hradec. We add some variations to this trail and undertake other bike itineraries, to visit among others the lovely cities of Telc e Cesky Krumlov, UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The environment is a relaxing undulating countryside, with torrents, woods, romantic flowering gardens, city centers, castle and abbeys of undiminished beauty.
This tour features both a great naturalistic value and artistic and architectonical wonders. Stunning castles and charming villages enhance the beauty of the natural landscapes. The territory, both in the cities and the countryside, is really tidy and preserved, a feast for the eyes.
