Gita in bici di un giorno da Vysehrad a Průhonice

This scenic cycling route takes you from the historic Vyšehrad fortress in Prague all the way to the picturesque town of Průhonice, about 22 km to the southeast. Starting at Vyšehrad, you can soak up panoramic views of the Vltava River and Prague’s skyline—don’t forget to check out the famous cemetery, where notable Czech personalities rest!

The ride is mostly pleasant and manageable, with around 227 meters of ascent, but nothing too daunting—just enough to keep things interesting. About 80% of your path is paved, with a good mix of cycleways and quiet roads, making it a relaxing option for most cyclists. There is a bit of gravel and unpaved surfaces, so a versatile bike is ideal.

After passing through leafy suburban areas and some peaceful countryside, you’ll arrive in Průhonice, home to the UNESCO-listed Průhonice Park and Castle. It’s a perfect spot to stroll or have a picnic after your ride. Whether you’re in it for the views or a bit of history, this route covers both!
