This bike tour in the Czech Republic and Germany from Prague to Dresden follows the flow of the Vltava and Elbe Rivers, through beautiful countryside, picturesque towns, and scenic parks. If you have biked the Danube and want something very similar, this is for you. The bike paths are well developed, flat, very scenic, and reveal centuries of history every day. From the stout sandstone columns and cliffs of Bohemian Switzerland to the peaceful vineyards of Mělník, from the horrific reality of the concentration camp, Terezin, to the silent, ancient volcanoes of the Middle Highlands, this trip will create profound memories and rich impressions. All this lies between two medieval capitals of utmost significance, Prague, "City of a Hundred Spires", and Dresden, with every corner filled with recent and ancient stories! As a bonus, you can enjoy a boat trip or hiking in the Czech Saxon Switzerland! This is an easy self-guided or guided bike tour with average daily distances between 30 and 33 miles. The route itself follows the rivers on dedicated cycle paths (99%) and silent back roads mostly through lush green, open countryside, passing by vineyards and through quaint villages. The first day has a small ascent, otherwise, the route is relatively flat. Palaces and castles pop up every now and then, enticing you to take a closer look. 99% is on gravel. On Day 1 there is a short distance on dirt/gravel.
