Greenway - Mikulov - Český Krumlov

I had an absolutely wonderful bicycling trip with Czech Bike Tours (CBT) this past fall! From September 24th to October 1st I biked from Mikulov in southern Moravia to Český Krumlov in southern Bohemia, passing though the Czech countryside and lovely cities and villages, all while using the Czech Republic’s excellent bicycle path network. At every step of the way CBT provided me with excellent service, and I felt well taken care off. Petr Janota, the owner of CBT, was always prompt in answering all the questions I had via email before the trip (always within 24 hours), and he personally drove me from Prague to the start of my tour in Mikulov where I received a detailed orientation and got my bike adjusted to my height. As an American, I was astounded by the excellent bike infrastructure in the Czech Republic. There’s a vast network of well-marked cycling paths crisscrossing the country, not to mention bike lanes in cities with a reasonable amount of traffic. I found plenty of bike racks/bike parking in front of attractions like the castles in Valtice, Vranov nad Dyjí, Landštejn, and Hluboké nad Vltavou as well as supermarkets. Bicycling trips are popular among Czechs themselves, and cars seem to respect bicyclists a hell of a lot more than they do in the USA. I never worried about getting lost as I had a GPS with the routes preprogrammed, paper maps with the routes highlighted, paper turn-by-turn directions, and a GPS app on a cellphone. I liked having access to all of those things, and I studied the paper maps in my hotel rooms in the evening. The cellphone (with a Czech sim card) I was provided had some very helpful apps, such as a Czech/English translator and mapy.cz. I used the translator mainly to translate signs on the road and in town, and mapy.cz was excellent for helping me known my exact location and getting a layout of the various towns I biked through. I felt that the difficulty of my route (moderate – experienced as rated by CBT), Greenway I. Mikulov - Český Krumlov, was accurate. This isn’t a trip for a beginning cyclist, and there are just enough elevation gain and off-road/dirt/gravel sections of the trails where decent bike handling skills are a must. I brought my own bike pedals (and shoes to clip into them) and helmet, which I highly recommend for comfort. I wish this company all the best, and I highly recommend booking a bicycle tour with them!
What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The bicycle routes themselves were easily my favorite part of the trip. They were well designed and varied in scenery. I could tell that someone put a lot of thought into designing the routes and did a lot of riding to figure out the best roads/​paths to take that would be both enjoyable and pass by unique sights. And what do I mean by well designed? Well, the routes don’t always go from point A to point B by the most direct way, and they take you to more interesting places. For example, there is a straight, tree-lined, 5‑mile road that connects the chateaus of Valtice and Lednice. The CBT route between Valtice and Lednice bypassed this road entirely, taking me on paths through the forest and passing ornate monuments that I wouldn’t know existed, giving me a much more unique and enjoyable experience. As a foreigner, there’s no way that I would’ve developed those routes by myself, even if I had access to the excellent Czech bicycle route maps that were provided to me by CBT. The well-designed routes were worth just as much to me as all the other services that CBT provided, because when all is said and done I booked this trip because I enjoy bicycling. Some individual moments worth noting: ‑The first ride around the Pálava Hills was lovely, and I took detours to hike to castle ruins Dívčí Hrady and Sirotčí Hrádek. ‑Riding though many sections of Podyjí National Park near Znojmo ‑Entering Znojmo by climbing a steep road up from the Dyjí River that had spectacular views ‑The first sight of the city and castle of Vranov nad Dyjí on a curvy descent ‑The bike paths near Třeboň that crisscrossed forests and lakes ‑A lovely kayak trip down a section of the Vltava in Český Krumlov
What do You think we could do better?
’ve actually thought about this question for a while, and I can’t think of any major things Czech Bike Tours could’ve done to have made my trip better, beyond magically making me fluent in Czech! The bike equipment, the routes, the hotels, the luggage transfers, the bike routes, and the transport to and from Prague all happened without a hitch. Any minor problems/​annoyances I had were of my own making, and the one time I truly needed assistance while on the road (there was a dispute about payment at one of my hotels and a language barrier), Petr happily helped me over the phone early on a Sunday morning. With regards to the Czech Bike Tours website, I think it would be helpful to note that not all the routes are 100% paved. There are some off-road, dirt, and gravel sections. While this wasn’t an issue for me and the bike I was using was the right type to handle all the different road conditions (a hybrid bike with front suspension), it was unexpected and could be a bit of a shock to those used to riding exclusively on pavement.
