    Lovely Cycle Through the Czech & Saxon Countryside!

    Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers

    This trip was a great way to experience Czechia & Saxony! We absolutely loved cycling through the countryside, enjoying the bucolic farmlands and winding along the river. There were some stretches that were through more industrial areas, which weren't the most pleasant. There were also more hilly and off-road stretches than we experienced on our Danube bike tour a few years ago. Except for a few times in more urban/busy areas, the routes were relatively car-free and felt safe. The Ride with GPS app really helped with navigation-- we loved it! It was nice to be able to glance down at our phones and know that we were on track.

    Our favorite times were cycling through Czech farmlands, enjoying the diverse birds we found there, including red kites, red-backed shrike, Eurasian skylark and wagtails. We also enjoyed exploring the towns of Litomerice, Decin, and Bad Schandau. We did two hikes in the Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland National Park. The first hike was in the Czech part of the park, out of Hrensko, a tacky tourist town. Unfortunately there had been a recent wildfire, so the hike was very exposed, and once we got to the top it felt very commercialized, with gift shops and overpriced restaurants. The next day we hiked in the German side of the park, out of Rathen, which had stunning scenery and actually felt like a national park. We would recommend this hike over the first.

    Overall our accommodations were very good, in quiet, clean, comfortable hotels with nice breakfast spreads. Our favorite hotels were in Prague (Hotel Clement) and Litomerice (Pension Dubina). Our bikes were excellent, suited to both on and off road cycling. It was easy to communicate with our tour guides through the WhatsApp group chat.

    Overall we would recommend this bike trip to others!
