- Difficulty Level
Level 2
XLevel 1: Occasional
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain with a few small hills—all very manageable for people trying their first biking trip.
Walking – 6-10 km (4-6 mi.) a day on country lanes, footpaths and coastal or forest trails, all on relatively flat terrain, perhaps with an occasional hill.
Level 2: Recreational
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day over terrain that’s relatively flat but will include inclines and the occasional climb or two.
Walking – 8-12 km (5-7 mi.) a day over relatively flat terrain, with occasional steeper climbs.
Level 3: Enthusiast
Biking – 40-50 km (25-30 mi.) a day in gently rolling countryside, with occasional longer climbs to points that are well worth the effort.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over rolling terrain on a variety of surfaces. Most days, one or two steeper climbs to spectacular viewpoints or places of interest.
Level 4: Avid
Biking – Roughly 50 km (30 mi.) a day in consistently rolling countryside, with repeated climbs and longer options available.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) over terrain that varies between rolling and hilly, with a few steeper climbs.
Level 5: Expert
Biking – 50-60 km (30-45 mi.) a day over both level and tougher, hillier terrain with multiple 100 km (62 mi.) options. The routes are designed for avid cyclists and include plenty of chances to push yourself.
Walking – 11-15 km (7-10 mi.) a day over fairly hilly terrain offering lots of challenges. Routes are along high meadow paths and/or well-maintained cliffside or alpine trails, with a few steep ascents to make you feel invigorated.
The best of Czech Republic & Austria
Journey between two central European gems – entirely at our own pace. Start by basking in Prague’s bohemian chic before heading south to see charming Český Krumlov’s red roofs and spires tower over the winding Vltava River. Then cross into Austria, where a ride through UNESCO-protected Wachau Valley reveals the vineyards, villages and Baroque architecture along the mighty Danube. Afterwards, Vienna’s many charms await.

REQUEST A QUOTEDay by Day
Cycle along the Vltava river through quiet medieval villages to the magnificent Karlštejn Castle. Pause along the way to refresh with a Czech beer and enjoy a terrace lunch with a superb view.
Begin your day with a visit to Hluboka castle. Choose your route to Cesky Krumlov, either via České Budějovice (aka the birthplace of Budweiser!) or the UNESCO heritage town of Holašovice.
Take your pick of activity today, opting for either a lovely ride to Lipno Lake, a hike to the top of Mount Klet, or raft the Vltava River. Tonight, join your local guide for an after-hours tour of the Krumlov castle.
Visit Rosenburg Castle for a show of Renaissance falconry. Take an afternoon ride through fields of wildflowers to Dürnstein and this evening, taste some of the local white wines in your hotel’s garden.
Pedal along the banks of the Danube to the town of Melk. Pay a visit to the hallowed halls of the Melk Monastery, then make your way back to the hotel on a scenic river cruise.
After breakfast, we drive you downstream to Vienna where your B&R adventure ends. We recommend spending another day or two exploring this elegant city on your own!

Hotel Richard Lowenherz, Dürnstein
Founded on the site of a 700-year-old Clarissinian Abbey, the Richard Löwenherz is now a hotel filled with Renaissance sculpture, elegant chandeliers and stone vaulting. Frau Thiery and her staff quickly make us feel at home whether we’re lounging with an after-dinner schnapps, lazing by the pool in the convent garden, or enjoying refined Austrian classics on the arbour-covered terrace overlooking the Danube.

This was my first B&R trip and first biking trip ever. I was so impressed by all the little details and the general experience. My most memorable moment was simply getting to know the people on the trip and taking part in the rides. Our trip was amazing—it was fun, active, adventurous, unique and a great way to see a new part of the world.
— Robin Storfer
Level 2
The riding in the Czech Republic and Austria offers much variety in landscape. Heading south from Prague and through the forested area around Cesky Krumlov, you will encounter some moderately hilly terrain. Then the bike paths to and along the Danube are virtually flat and hassle-free. All riding is on paved surfaces, and much of it on dedicated bike paths. Long options are available most days.
What’s included? Everything you need. Plus everything you’d
want. Plus a few things you never knew you wanted ‘til you got them.
In a word: everything. In ninety words? Signature B&R guides; local experts; unique, unforgettable biking and walking routes; private tours; authentic local cuisine; lessons and demonstrations; local artisanal wines; wine tastings; all victuals and libations; all the endorphins you can handle; new insight; interesting, fun and like-minded travel companions; a feeling of total freedom. In short: an extraordinary, hassle-free journey of discovery.
