Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Železná Ruda do Borová Lada

Get ready for a classic Šumava adventure on two wheels! Start out in Železná Ruda, a cozy border town nestled right under the Bavarian Forest, known for its glassmaking history and as a popular hiking and cycling gateway. The route to Borová Lada is just shy of 72 km and is a fantastic mix of paved cycleways, quiet forest tracks, and remote roads—perfect for gravitating between tranquil rivers, thick forests, and rolling mountain views.

You’ll climb over 1,500 meters (yes, it's a workout!), but the stunning scenery of the Šumava National Park makes every pedal stroke worth it. Most of your ride is on paved surfaces, but there’s a fair share of gravel to keep things interesting, so bring a bike that can handle both.

Finish in Borová Lada, a peaceful village surrounded by meadows and famous for its peat bogs and wildlife. If you love nature and enjoy a quieter side of Czechia, this route is a real treat. Don’t forget to stop for a coffee or pastry in one of the local cafés to round off your ride!
