Excursión ciclista de un día de Horní Planá a Český Krumlov

Get ready for a scenic ride through South Bohemia! This route starts in the lakeside town of Horní Planá, a peaceful spot on the shores of Lipno, the largest lake in the Czech Republic. You'll set out along mostly quiet roads and smooth asphalt, weaving through rolling hills, charming villages, and beautiful forests—the ascent is gentle at first with almost 500 meters of climbing, but there’s more downhill than up, so you’re in for some fun descents.

Expect about 39 kilometers from start to finish, making it a solid half-day adventure. Most of the route is paved and relatively car-free, perfect for taking in the sights. The last stretch delivers you straight into Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage town famed for its fairy-tale castle, winding Vltava river, and vibrant medieval core. Don’t forget to reward yourself with a stroll through the Old Town—this cycling journey ends at one of the Czech Republic’s true gems!
