Karlštejn Castle Scenic Small-Group Bike Tour

We can’t imagine a more enjoyable bike trip than the one to Karlštejn Castle: a 30-kilometre ride along two rivers with next to zero climbing! Czech countryside, a 16th-century castle, little towns – you’ll love it!

When looking for a cycling tour of the Czech countryside I picked Martin's company because I hoped that a new, niche operator would provide a more personal experience than the larger operators that cater to big numbers every day. Despite some difficulties with my schedule Martin made a special effort to make sure I got the tour I wanted. Martin has a big passion for showing others the outdoors, away from the crowds. I had a great day being guided around beautiful countryside, rivers and villages on a brand new bike, taking in the sights and atmosphere. Lunch and beer was welcome and tasty but for me the real delight was in cruising along quiet roads in beautiful nature having a laugh as we went. Highly recommended

Description

If you want explore Prague’s surroundings, this is the way to go!

The peaceful Czech countryside and lush green forests will make you think you’re much further than a few minutes from the city by train.

If you feel like it, we can stop for a swim in the river, or take a break at one of the many little cafés along the way. Or perhaps we can pop into our favourite local bakery? If you prefer paved tracks, no problem. If you don’t mind a bit of dirt, we know some (easy) shortcuts!

The best bit comes at the very end of our ride. We’ll take you to a beautiful meadow surrounded by dense forests, offering the most stunning view of Karlštejn Castle. You can almost feel Charles IV and his companions marching on horses across the meadow…

If you wish, you can attend a 55-minute tour of the castle’s interior for CZK 170 (not included in the tour price).

At the end of the ride you’re welcome to join us for lunch at our favourite restaurant by the castle (included in the tour price).

Super Czech biking experience with Martin

Awesome day on bikes in Czech countryside
We decided we needed some exercise after all the great food and beer and so we joined Martin for a Karlstejn Castle Scenic Bike Tour that our Airbnb host recommended us. What a great idea! We had an awesome day with our guide Martin touring the outskirts of Prague. The ride followed rivers most of the time so it was not just not too difficult but mainly beautiful. The best part was the last part when we arrived at an outstanding spot where the Karlstejn Castle was suddenly below us and we could see nothing but the castle and forrests all around. Finally the lunch and beer in Martin’s favourite restaurant in the village below the castle was the last piece of a mosaic to make it an unforgottable experience and the best part of our holiday in Czech. Would definately recomment Martin and his agency and we look forward to join him on canoe trip the next time we visit Prague.
Great day
Anna arrived on time in a nice vehicle with great bikes. We had a quick ride to the parking lot to begin our trip. The ride was perfect, nice views, nice trail and a great host. The ride up the final hill, or in my case the walk up the final hill was worth it to round the corner and see the view. I would recommend this trip, this company and Anna as a guide.
