Cycling day trip from Bruntál to Loučná nad Desnou

Get ready for a seriously scenic ride from Bruntál to Loučná nad Desnou! Starting in Bruntál, a charming town known for its castle and as a gateway to the Jeseníky mountains, you’ll head northwest towards the heart of the mountains. The route is about 60 km and you’ll be climbing and dropping through almost 1,500 meters of ascent and descent—so get those legs warmed up!

You’ll spend most of your time on quiet tracks weaving through forests and meadows. About two-thirds of the route is paved, but keep an eye out as quite a bit is unpaved or gravel, so a gravel or mountain bike will be your friend. Watch for sweeping views and fresh mountain air, especially as you reach the highest point, over 1,100 meters up!

Your destination, Loučná nad Desnou, is a tranquil spa village known for its beautiful gardens and as a gateway to some awesome hiking and, in winter, skiing. All in all, it’s a rewarding route for those who love adventure and natural beauty. Enjoy the ride!
