Get ready for a scenic spin from Hostivice to the historic heart of Prague at Vyšehrad! Starting in Hostivice—known for its peaceful small-town vibe and surrounding lakes—you’ll enjoy mostly smooth cycling, with the route being about 27 km on an impressive mix of 86% paved surfaces. Expect gentle climbs at the start (about 236 meters up), but mostly you’ll be cruising downhill as you approach Prague.

The route keeps things relaxed, sticking mainly to quiet roads and cycleways (no stressful traffic here!), taking you through a pleasant blend of suburbs and green spaces before you hit the city limits.
