Gravel MTB

Looking for a relaxing trip that you can manage even with children, but don’t want to miss out on beautiful panoramas? This loop around Horní Planá offers the ideal compromise – a reasonable portion of kilometers, safe roads, and views that will force you to stop and take it all in.

The cycling trip around Horní Planá “with a perspective” will take you along the shores of Lake Lipno to the city center and reward you for a little effort with two beautiful panoramas. From Hůrka, you set off on a relaxed path through Jenišov to Horní Planá, from where you head up to the Lake Viewpoint.

Then you return a bit back to the center of Planá, pass by the square and the Church of St. Margaret up to the Adalbert Stifter Park to the Dobrá Voda lookout tower. It is the highest point of the entire route, so the views are worth it!

Subsequently, a short descent and a climb through Švermova Street towards the go-karts await you, where you turn off into the peace of nature towards Jelm. From Jelm, a beautiful forest path leads to Žlábek and along asphalt back to Hůrka, where a well-deserved reward awaits you in the Fish Restaurant.

The route is manageable even for fit children – it leads mainly along asphalt or paved roads and offers several places where they can have fun along the way. Near Horní Planá, you can stop at a small beach, which is one of the favorite swimming spots for families with children. In the square in Horní Planá, you can then have an ice cream or something sweet in the local confectionery before heading further to the viewpoints. The entire trip thus offers not only beautiful views but also pleasant stops that will please small and big cyclists alike.
