Top Experiences in Karlstejn Castle (Hrad Karlstejn)

You could not imagine a more enjoyable bike trip than this one to Karlstejn Castle – a 17-mile ride along two rivers with next to zero climbing! Czech countryside, 14th century castle, small towns – you'll love it!

Bike like a local, to a microbrewery! You will ride along rivers to Karlstejn Castle and than further through forgotten countryside to the microbrewery. Locally made beer tastes so good after a bike tour!

Sure, Prague is full of bars and pubs with great and cheap beer. But no beer tastes better than freshly poured in a microbrewery. After years of riding and years of tasting, we know the best place to go! …and because here in the Czech Republic bike belongs to our life in the same way beer does, we believe this is one of the best ways to spend a free day.

“A lot of kilometers had to be ridden and a lot of beer had to be drunk in order to prepare this tour.”

Your local guide will collect you from your accommodation in Prague for a full day excursion to Karlstejn and Konopiste Castles in a private vehicle.
