Start off at Lipno in the Czech Republic then travel clockwise around into Austria. You will see some great scenery and views on the way. If the route is too long then you can shorten it by taking one of the small lakeside ferries, the choice is yours. You will be in the National Parks of CZ and Austria as this is a good winter skiing area which makes for some interesting mountain roads.

This is a nice weekend ride starting in Prague travel down all the quiet country roads to the largest lake in the Czech Republic which also forms the boundry with Austria. You will pass through Pisek which has the oldest stone bridge in Europe. Some of the roads are more like a racetrack with all the other bikers so be warned as the road camber changes a lot.
Lipno is a great lake for swimming or relaxing beside, with lots of hotels, great restaurants and bars or why not take a boat tour and have lunch on the boat. Lipno has lots of hotels and campsites right beside the lake. Spend the night at Lipno and take a different route home the next day.
Lipno is in the Southern skiing area of Czech Republic located in a national park with great scenery and areas to explore. It is a good central location for touring this area and venturing into Austria or Germany so you can visit 3 countries in one morning.

Prague to Pekelne' Doly - Bikers cave and bar

Western Czech > Czech Republic > Europe
April 19, 2012 - 4.0
This is a must do ride. Ride from Northern Prague to Melnik where it starts to get interesting some great technical corners and fast open sections. The caves are an old V2 rocket site from WW2 dug out of sandstone, there is now a bikers a bar with food. You can ride up to the bar even sleep in the caves at the weekend when rock concerts are on.
It gets really busy at the weekends so expect to see lots of bikers on the road where it can turn into a racetrack. Stop at the Aquip petrol station near Duba where most of the bikers refill with fuel and coffee.
You have to do this ride!
