There are only a few travel experiences in my life that I enjoyed more than cycling in the Czech Republic. If you’ve been following my site for the last decade, you’ll understand the gravity of that statement.

Not all that long ago, I played pro hockey in Turkey, and ended up busting up my knee. I was limited to what I could do from an activity perspective, and ended up falling in love with low impact sports like swimming and cycling.

However, I quickly realized that the reverence I felt for cycling was something a little different. There’s a magic to being on the seat of your bike and just watching the world unfold before your eyes. Often times, I don’t even realize that I’m in motion on a bike because it just feels so natural.

I alluded to some of this in my article on Hluboká Castle (arguably the most beautiful castle in the Czech Republic), but didn’t get as in-depth into what you might expect from a biking trip in the Czech Republic, or what you might need to know.

In this article, I’ll aim to showcase some of the destinations in South Bohemia that you should have on your biking radar, showcase the culture of the region and, as always, have a little fun with it in the process.

The truth is, when I think back on my trip, essentially cycling across South Bohemia, those memories still breathe such a pronounced happiness into my being that I feel like I need to communicate some of that joy out loud.

Also, I’m not going to aim to fit everything into this article. I’ll have something up on the Czech Tourism website as well shortly, and likely more content down the line on here as well.

Let’s get to it.

Top Tips for Making the Most of Your Czech Republic Cycling Trip

Our cycling trip was well planned, and that’s thanks in large part to the fact that Czech Tourism was part of the planning process and, as you imagine, they’ve got a knack for showcasing their own nation. Below, I want to impart the lessons I took to heart about planning future cycling trips in the Czech Republic. It should help you, and I’m sure it’ll also remind me that I need to get back and do something like this all over again!
