Challenging Cycling Trip at Lipno (137 km, 1,220 m elevation)

Gravel MTB

This demanding cycle route combines fast sections on high-quality asphalt with more challenging passages where you gain elevation. Just you, your bike, and 137 kilometers of pure adrenaline and experiences.

Start in Hůrka, the ideal choice

Start your adventure in the picturesque village of Hůrka. From here, join cycle path no. 33 towards Horní Planá. The first 7 kilometers along the left bank of Lake Lipno will offer you views that professional photographers would pay a fortune for. Every pedal stroke brings you closer to the feeling of freedom.

Beautiful cycle route through the Austrian borderlands

After passing through Horní Planá, where you can visit the birthplace of Adalbert Stifter, head to Pěkná and further along the Vltava to Nová Pec and Přední Zvonková. But WATCH OUT! Here comes the moment that separates regular cyclists from real pros – the crossing to Ulrichsberg, Austria. On the right bank of Lake Lipno, a parade of stunning scenery awaits you. Lipno nad Vltavou, Rožmberk, Frymburk… Each of these places would be worth a separate trip on its own. But you will visit them all in a single day! 137 kilometers is no walk in the park. This route is designed for more experienced cyclists who:

  • Already have some cycling trips under their belt and want to push their limits
  • Long for an authentic experience far from the tourist crowds
  • Are looking for a physical challenge with a reward in the form of unique memories

Plan a stop at the Fish Restaurant in Hůrka at the end of the trip – its fresh Bohemian Forest fish are legendary!
