ABOUT

Enjoy the ride through the Czech countryside to Karlstej Castle on electric bikes. E-bikes make covering the 35 km trip to Karlstejn easy and enjoyable. 
Our Karlstejn Castle Bike Tour rolls you southwest of Prague along the Vltava and Berounka Rivers and through the Czech countryside to the gothic fortress built by King Karel IV to house the imperial jewels and his collection of holy relics. Karlstejn Castle, with its enchanting, monumental architecture is one of the most-visited castles in the country . 

We start the guided bike trip to Karlstejn from the Praha Bike office in the center of Prague. Our cycling time to the castle takes about 3.5-4 hours and has a flat terain. During our trip we will pass through several villages, making observation and refreshments stops. Upon our arrival at Karlstejn Village (population 800) we stop for lunch in a traditional Czech restaurant. Then, we leave our bikes behind to walk (15 min) up to the castle grounds. Your guide will introduce you to the history of the castle as well as the life of Karel IV and will show you around the exterior. (Guests have the option of taking a guided tour (55 min) of the castle interior (Adults 270 Kc, Children, Students & Seniors (180 Kc) more about admission.)
We return back to Prague by train. Trains depart from Karlstejn to Prague approx every 30 min with the journey lasting 40 min. Our trip ends at the Praha Bike office around 17:30. For the whole trip you will be accompanied with our friendly and very helpful tour guide.

INSURANCE: Theft & Damage

While theft insurance is not mandatory, we highly recommend it to minimize risks.

Cost
Theft and damage insurance ranges from 4 to 14 euros, depending on the type of bike. It applies only to thefts occurring during the daytime between 7 AM and 8 PM and covers damage to the bike, including manufacturer defects.

What the Insurance Covers

  • Damage to the bike during regular use

  • Manufacturer or material defects

  • Lock defects

  • Expenses for damages incurred for bike repairs during the trip

  • Roadside emergency service in Prague's area

Insurance does not cover damage or accidents caused by:

  • Violating traffic rules

  • Improper parking

  • Riding under the influence of illegal substances

  • Accidents caused by irresponsible riding. You must use your personal or travel insurance to cover the costs

  • Not following weight and height safety limits

In Case of Damage
If your rental bike is damaged or not functioning properly, you must call us for assistance.

Without insurance:

  • You are responsible for covering the cost of our mechanic's trip within the Prague area to repair or replace the bike, as well as any damages caused during the rental time

  • If you are outside Prague, you may visit a local bike repair shop for assistance or attempt to repair the bike yourself

  • If a manufacturer or material defect occurs, you will not be charged for the repair, but you must return the bike to our shop using a taxi or our delivery service. Please call us for assistance

With insurance:

  • If the bike is damaged, we will replace it

  • If the bike breaks down or has a manufacturer or material defect, we will fix it or provide a replacement

  • For repairs outside Prague, you must visit a local bike repair shop or attempt repairs yourself. We will reimburse expenses for fixing the bike or replacing parts, provided you submit valid receipts

Nighttime Storage
From 8 PM to 7 AM, all bikes must be stored in a secure location such as:

  • A house

  • A hotel garage

  • A parking lot or storage room

Theft insurance does not cover bikes left outside overnight, such as on the street or in open spaces.
Bikes must be properly locked through the frame and back wheel to an immovable object, such as a bike stand, pole, or fence, ensuring they do not block any entrance or path.

In Case of Theft
If your rental bike is stolen, you must report the theft to the police. The police report must clearly state that:

  • The bike was properly locked

  • The lock was cut

Without insurance:
You will be liable to pay the full replacement value of the bicycle, ranging from 200 to 1400 euros, depending on the bike type.

With insurance:
A retention fee will apply, ranging from 40 to 140 euros, depending on the bike type.

Important: A valid police report is required to prove the bike was locked and stolen. Otherwise, legal consequences may apply, as damages exceeding 200 euros are considered a criminal offense under local law.
