Quick ride by bicycle from Karlovy Vary to Loket

This scenic ride starts in the famous spa town of Karlovy Vary, known for its beautiful colonnades, bubbling hot springs, and elegant 19th-century architecture. You’ll leave the bustling center behind as you follow a mostly paved and gravel route, winding through the lush forests and rolling hills of western Bohemia.

The distance is a comfortable 16.5 km, with a few gentle climbs—enough to get your heart rate up, but nothing too tough. You’ll enjoy sections along quiet roads, forested tracks, and purpose-built cycleways, perfect for soaking in the peaceful surroundings.

Your journey ends in Loket, a charming medieval town hugged by a loop of the Ohře River and crowned by its fairytale castle. Loket’s cobbled streets and historic market square make it a lovely place to stretch your legs (and maybe grab some coffee and cake). All in all, this is a classic route for anyone wanting a taste of Bohemia’s nature and history—on two wheels!
