Excursión ciclista de un día de Hodkovičky a Průhonice

Hodkovičky to Průhonice: Scenic Suburban Spin

Starting from the leafy Prague neighborhood of Hodkovičky, this 20-km ride offers a mellow escape toward the charming village of Průhonice, known for its UNESCO-listed castle park. You'll roll mostly along smooth asphalt (around 72%) with a pleasant mix of dedicated cycleways and quiet roads, so expect a relaxed, low-traffic journey.

The route climbs gently out of the southern fringes of Prague, serving up just enough ascent (about 160 meters) to keep your legs awake, but nothing too taxing. The scenery shifts from riverside paths and tranquil suburbs to open fields as you leave the city behind. Don’t be surprised by a few gravel or unpaved sections (about 15%); they add a bit of adventure without getting too rough.

Arriving in Průhonice, treat yourself to a stroll (or ride) through the vast park, famed for its beautiful gardens and picturesque lakes. Fun fact: Průhonice Park is both a botanical gem and a favorite spot for Prague locals escaping into nature. Perfect for a sunny weekend ride!
