Along the Elbe: from Vrchlabí to Dresden

Imagine eleven days full of movement, beautiful nature, historic towns and unforgettable views. We invite you on a unique cycling tour on which we will travel together from the picturesque foothills of the Giant Mountains (Krkonoše) to the magnificent German city of Dresden. Our common thread will be the River Elbe (Labe), which will accompany us for a large part of the journey and show us its most beautiful faces.

Our journey begins in Vrchlabí, the gateway to the Giant Mountains. From there we set off via Dvůr Králové, Hradec Králové and Pardubice, towns with a rich history, a pleasant atmosphere and many interesting corners. Gradually we will discover picturesque Czech small towns, riverbanks, peaceful villages and the beautiful landscape of the Elbe basin (Polabí).

Via Kolín, Milovice and Mělník we will reach the area where the Elbe meets other important watercourses and where beautiful views of the Czech countryside open up. We will continue via Litoměřice to the Bohemian Switzerland area, which will enchant us with its rock formations, green valleys and romantic nature.

The end of our cycling tour belongs to German Saxony. Via Pirna we gradually approach Dresden – a city also nicknamed the Florence on the Elbe. This is where our journey culminates, combining active relaxation, discovery and many beautiful experiences. This tour is an ideal opportunity to get to know two countries from a slightly different perspective – from the saddle of a bike. Pleasant cycling stages, river scenery, historic town centres, natural beauty and evenings full of relaxation in comfortable hotel accommodation with half board await us.
