Blessed with Baroque palaces, cobblestone streets, and artistic detail, both the Czech Republic and Austria beg to be discovered by bike. From Southern Bohemia laced with dense forests and rolling hills, to the lush Danube River Valley and the magnificent Austrian Alps, you’ll experience the culture, cuisine and cycling that makes traveling by bike in this region unique. In the Czech Republic, follow the rolling countryside to medieval fairytale villages and enjoy a cold pivo, or original Budweiser beer. In Austria’s lush Wachau, take a rest from your easy paced ride to sample a crisp glass of wine, and an evening outdoor concert along the winding Danube River.
