The Elbe valley and the surrounding cycle trails offer routes for road and mountain bikes alike. From easy paths along the river to demanding climbs up to the rock plateaus.
Cycle trails in Bohemian Switzerland
The backbone of the region is the trail along the Elbe from Děčín to Hřensko, which is mostly flat and suitable for families with children. Advanced cyclists will appreciate the harder loops through Jetřichovice, Vysoká Lípa and Doubice, where the terrain offers steep climbs rewarded with panoramic views of the rock towns.
Mountain biking and gravel
For lovers of off-road riding, Bohemian Switzerland is ideal. Forest tracks and unpaved paths run through dense woods and offer technically interesting sections. A popular route leads from Jetřichovice to Mariina skála and on through Tokáň to Srbská Kamenice. On a gravel bike you can cross the whole region on a mix of small asphalt roads and firm forest tracks.
