Cycle Prague To Dresden
Regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful cities with its fairy-tale ambiance and golden spires, Prague is a fitting starting point to this grand cycle tour to discover the Bohemian countryside and idyllic river landscapes enroute to the beautifully restored city of Dresden.
After spending time exploring the 'Golden City' including Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world, the cycle begins by following the Moldau River to Melnik with its great wine growing tradition.
It continues along quiet backroads and nature trails along the Elbe River, through classic scenery of hill top castles, lovingly renovated villages, spa towns and during the last stage, through "Saxon Switzerland' where massive Elbe sandstone formations have attracted rock climbers from around the world.
From the devastation arising from WWII, Dresden has regained its former glory, with its impressive buildings including the magnificent Zwinger Palace.
