Cycling to Třístoličník (65 km, 584 m elevation)

If you are looking for a cycling trip that combines relaxing sections with a real challenge and rewards you with magnificent views, head to Dreisesselberg. The route starts in Nová Pec and connects two iconic Bohemian Forest cycle paths – the flat Stožec Cycle Path and the historical Schwarzenberg Cycle Path.

The first part follows the Stožec Cycle Path – a roughly 15 km long flat section along the Vltava River. The path is asphalted, safe, and ideal for families with children, in-line skaters, or recreational cyclists. The forest environment offers pleasant shade even in the hot summer, and there are spots to stop by the river or at a rest area along the way.

From Stožec, continue through Nové Údolí to Germany, where a more demanding climb to Dreisesselberg awaits you. At the summit, you will find a restaurant and, most importantly, panoramic views of the Bohemian Forest and the Bavarian Forest. After a short descent back, the route joins a new cycle path across the border to the Rosenauer Monument, which commemorates the builder of the Schwarzenberg Shipping Canal.

From there, continue along the Schwarzenberg Cycle Path, which follows the more than 200-year-old shipping canal. On the route, you will see unique technical monuments – the Jelení Tunnel carved into the rock, the Rossbach Aqueduct, or historical sluices. The path descends slightly the entire way, leads through beautiful landscape, and offers refreshment options. From Jelení, a pleasant asphalt descent awaits you back to Nová Pec.

🚴‍♂️ Why head to Dreisesselberg by bike using this route?

• Combination of the relaxed Stožec Cycle Path and the challenge of climbing to the summit.
• Panoramic views of the Bohemian Forest and the Bavarian Forest directly from Dreisesselberg.
• Unique technical monuments on the Schwarzenberg Cycle Path – Jelení Tunnel, Rossbach Aqueduct, historical sluices.
• Refreshment options at the summit and in pubs along the way.
• Pleasant final descent on asphalt back to Nová Pec.
• If the route is too long for you, you can take a train to Nové Údolí, shortening it by about 20 km.

📍 Where to rest your legs after a demanding day on the bike?
