My most popular route is Over 3 Thousand Peaks, 2 Viewpoints and 1 Castle. Even though this circuit is “only” around 50 km, don’t be fooled. They will thoroughly check your physical and technical preparation, especially if you ride in the wet.

It’s Saturday morning, I load my bike on the car in Budějice and head towards Javorník. I’m there in an hour, I prepare my bike, change my clothes, turn on the GPS and start the route.

It’s like a roller coaster, up, down, comfortable for a while and then it’s hard again, but that’s exactly how I like it. In Kašperské Hory I stop at the local brewery for lunch and continue along the route. The environment is constantly changing, rock-root sections, single trails, forest paths, this is how I imagine a natural MTB circuit.

Considerably exhausted, but satisfied, I arrive at the car in the early evening. Again, it was worth it and it confirmed to me that this type of route suits me like shit. All the nooks and crannies, unexpected turns, diverse environments, breathtaking views (even hills :-)), only a local enthusiastic cycling native can plan this :-). Thanks a lot!
