Prague to Dresden leisure

For families and leisure cyclists

The easiest option is also suitable for children. The distances are shorter than on other routes, and there is only one short climb on the first day. The rest of the journey follows the Vltava and Elbe rivers. Thanks to major investments in recent years, the Prague–Dresden route has become the best-developed cycling trail in the Czech Republic, with more than half of the distance leading along dedicated bike paths or quiet roads with marked bike lanes. For these reasons, this trail is highly recommended for families with children.

Let us take you on an unforgettable cycling journey along the Vltava and Elbe rivers, linking two of Europe’s most fascinating cultural capitals. Prague, a historic crossroads of Czech, German, and Jewish cultures, and Dresden, the former residence of Saxon dukes known as the “Florence of the North,” offer a unique blend of history, art, and atmosphere that will stay with you long after the tour ends.

Following the gentle flow of the rivers, you will cycle through a breathtaking countryside filled with charming towns such as Mělník, Litoměřice, and Bad Schandau. The route leads through the spectacular landscapes of the Czech–Saxon Switzerland National Park, famous for its dramatic rock formations, and continues through the romantic Czech Middle Mountains, shaped by ancient volcanoes. The final kilometers guide you through the elegant cultural scenery of the Dresden Elbe Valley.

This tour perfectly combines world-class cities with outstanding natural beauty. Thanks to its easy terrain, it is suitable even for less experienced cyclists who want to enjoy the ride without physical strain. As a special bonus, you can enhance your trip with a relaxing boat cruise or a half-day hike in the stunning Czech–Saxon Switzerland.
