With children to the highest located castle in the Czech Republic (Vítkův Hrádek)

A climbing challenge for small cyclists who have already mastered shifting gears and are not afraid of riding uphill. Fortunately, there is only one hill, and in the first third of the route, when one is full of energy and enthusiasm. Except for two steeper "bumps" at the start and the last 500 m under Svatý Tomáš, this route gently climbs up deep forests, and you will realise that you have ridden uphill only after the mythical Vítkův Hrádek castle, the ruins of the highest located castle in Bohemia, appears in front of you at an altitude of 1,035 m a.s.l. When you'll stand on its viewing platform, the whole Lipno dam will lie open before you, and if you turn 180°, a majestic panorama of the Austrian Alps will take your breath away. After replenishing your energy on Sv. Tomáš, you will enjoy a 6 km long descent back to the dam, and the last 8 km to the ferry is absolutely straight. We recommend locking your bikes in the parking lot at the Krmelec Bistro and to walk the last 300 m to Vítkův Hrádek.
