Karlstejn Castle Small-Group Bike Tour and Microbrewery Visit from Prague

After pick up at your hotel it is about 20 min drive to the starting point at the very edge of Prague. This way we avoid most traffic and we start enjoying great cycling paths along the Vltava and Berounka rivers. We are biking on flat trails surrounded by meadows and small towns all the way to the most beautiful and best preserved castle in Czech – Karlstejn. After about one hour break to soak the medieval atmosphere we head for a final push of about 10 miles to our favorite microbrewery in the area.

Though we have to climb a bit during the last part, it is really worth it. There are no more towns along the way, just little villages and lush countryside all around us. It seems people here live the same way as years ago, when communists operated a Czech biggest air-missile base carefully hidden in forests of a hill above us. When we arrive in the cozy village of Vseradice, we enjoy a decent late lunch and taste locally made beer.

We have more options for our way back, though usually we ride back (8 miles) our bikes near Karlstejn and then take a train back to our car and finally we drop you off at the hotel. Be aware that you have to be able to cover up to 30 miles with a few (easy) uphills in about 6 hours.
