Cycle along the rivers Vltava and Elbe

The impressive city of Prague is where you start your journey through history and a lot of sights worth seeing. Dresden awaits you at the end of this beautiful tour with the Zwinger Palace, the Semperoper (opera house) and the Frauenkirche (church of ladys). Between these two cities you cycle along the rivers Vltava and Elbe, visit a lot of picturesque villages and cross romantic landscapes. Enjoy the panoramic view from the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. This landscape is really impressive. Maybe you’ll like the way between Prague and Dresden even more than the two cities themselves.
