Cycle through the Bohemian countryside from the fairy
tale city of Prague to Dresden on the Elbe River
Regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful cities with its fairy tale ambiance
and golden spires, Prague is a fitting starting point to this grand cycle tour to

beautifully restored city of Dresden. After spending time exploring the 'Golden
City' including Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world, the cycle
begins by following the Moldau River to Melnik with its great wine growing
tradition. It continues along quiet backroads and nature trails along the Elbe
River, through classic scenery of hilltop castles, lovingly renovated villages, spa
towns and during the last stage, through 'Saxon Switzerland' where massive
