ABOUT
You will start the bike trip to Karlstejn from the Praha Bike office in the centre of Prague. We will give you directions on your phone & show you how to get out of the city centre to the river and bike path ( about 15 min ride). The cycling time to the castle takes about 3-4 hours and has flat terrain. During your trip you will pass local villages, making stops for observations, refreshments or lunch at traditional Czech restaurants. Upon your arrival at Karlstejn Village, you can lock the bike on the special parking lot or anywhere in the village and walk (15 min, 1.2km) up to the castle grounds to check the exteriors, courtyard, and stunning viewpoints!
If you like and your time allows, you can take the castle interior guided tour (55 min, Adults-330 Kc, Children, Students & Seniors-180 Kc, more about admission).
You will return back to Prague by train with the bike. Trains depart from Karlstejn to Prague approx every 30 min with the journey lasting 40 min. Your trip has to end at the Praha Bike office around 17:30.
We recommend starting your adventure no later than 10:30 am.
Note: Use of regular & electric bikes is allowed for the same ride. Using an e-bike will not make you go much faster but makes the trip easier :)
