  • What is special about this route? Why recommend this route? What did you enjoy the most?
    Riding through vast forests in a former military zone with minimal settlement, quality forest roads without car traffic, Máchovo Lake, views of Bezděz and Mount Ralsko...
    Since the route goes through a former military area, there are limited options for refreshments - restaurants outside the start and finish are only in Kuřivodech (not tested, but allegedly not great), Doksy, Staré Splavy, Bělá pod Bezdězem, and Malá Bělá, with a shop additionally in Klášter.
  • Route description:
    From the train station in Mnichovo Hradiště, we pass through the town towards Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou. We cross the Jizera and from the village of Klášter Hradiště nad Jizerou (last shop before the former military area) we continue on a little frequented road through the picturesque valley along the Zábrdka stream through Dolní Bukovinu to the hamlet of Borovice. After Borovice, it is necessary to hit an unused and unmarked forest road towards Jabloneček, which is not entirely easy to navigate. Then we go straight through the forest past the former village of Jabloneček to the Židlov enclosure. After exiting the forest, we arrive at an intersection. Here we turn left towards Kuřivody. In Kuřivodech, we cross the main road and head on a side road towards Bělá pod Bezdězem. From there, after about a kilometer and a half, we will turn right onto the bike path towards Doksy (marked). We will follow the bike path until we reach Doksy and then alongside the railway line to Staré Splavy. By the circular road, we will go around Máchovo Lake until we reach the intersection with road number 270, and we will ride a few kilometers on our own tracks. However, we will not return via the bike path back to Kuřivody, but we will leave the turnoff to Kuřivody to our left and descend according to the map to Bělá pod Bezdězem. From there we will go on the road to the village of Malá Bělá (shop, pub, restaurant), from where it is only a short distance to Bakov nad Jizerou. Alternatively, you can continue along the side road by the Jizera to Mladá Boleslav.
