Moravia Cycling Pleasure

Krakow - Vienna

Itinerary

Route

Tour profile / level 1-2

Almost the entire route is flat bike paths. Some vineyards near Hodonin and Valtice, as well as the city center of Mikulov, which is also located on a hill. Up to 70% of the roads are paved and the remaining 30% are gravel roads.

Day 1: Krakow

Individual arrival. Overnight stay in a central location, ideal for a stroll through Krakow’s Old Town. Alternatively, the first night can also be booked in Vienna, or you can travel directly to Olomouc.

Day 2: Krakow – Litovel – Olomouc, approx. 20 km

Transfer (from Krakow) or self-arrival (from Vienna) to Olomouc, where you will be picked up and your bike tour begins. Around noon you will reach Litovel, a small town with a well-known brewery, surrounded by the arms of the Morava. After lunch in an old mill, you will start the first bike tour through a nature reserve with protected alluvial forest. Soon the historic buildings of Olomouc come into view, the former capital of Moravia and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its impressive monuments.

Day 3: Olomouc – Kromeriz, approx. 45 km

Olomouc impresses with the Holy Trinity Column, the town hall, the St. Wenceslas Cathedral and the Archbishop’s Palace. You cycle past the fortress walls along the Morava to Tovacov, which attracts visitors with its palace and Jewish Museum. The small town of Chropyne boasts a Renaissance hunting lodge. The stage ends in Kromeriz, the “Athens of Moravia”, known for its historic center, the Archbishop’s Palace and two magnificent parks.

Day 4: Kromeriz – Uherske Hradiste, approx. 35-50 km

The flat route follows the Bata Canal, a restored technical monument with old locks, houseboats and cafes. Architecture fans can visit Zlin, home of the Bata shoe company. The stage ends in Uherske Hradiste, a historic town with a picturesque center, a large market square and a remarkable neo-Romanesque synagogue.

Day 5: Uherske Hradiste – Hodonin, approx. 45 km

You will cycle through the Moravian Slovakia, where the special folklore tradition is still alive. The region is known for its small white houses with blue shutters, wood carvings and ceramics. Vineyards, flowering meadows, castles and folk architecture can be enjoyed with a glass of excellent local wine. In Uhersky Ostro you can visit the historic city center, in Straznice the castle gardens and in Petrov the cellar lane. The overnight stay is planned in Hodonin.

Day 6: Hodonin – Valtice, approx. 45 km

Today you will cycle through vineyards to Breclav and further through wild alluvial forests to Lednice. There, a neo-Gothic castle and magnificent gardens await you in the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, known as the “Garden of Europe”. After a drive through parks with buildings such as a minaret and a triumphal arch, you will reach Valtice. Here you can enjoy the magnificent Liechtenstein Palace and Moravian wine in the wine salon.

Day 7: Valtice – Laa an der Thaya, approx. 45 km

The last stage leads through Mikulov. A baroque castle dominates this town and welcomes cyclists from afar due to its location on high cliffs. The historic center around the market square is home to richly decorated houses and an imposing tomb of the noble family of Dietrichstein. Then it’s back on a flat bike route. Just over the Austrian border, you will reach the last accommodation in Laa an der Thaya. Try out the thermal springs there!

Day 8: Laa an der Thaya – Vienna (train ride)

Take the train to the city of waltz, Vienna (included). Explore the historic buildings of the city center, stroll along the Danube Island or enjoy a glass of wine in one of the famous Heurigen in the Viennese vineyards.

    Arrival - Parking - Departure

    Arrival by plane

    Airport:  Krakow (KRK)
    The cab should not cost more than about 60-70 zl (€ 17-20,-) (please be sure to check with the cab driver in advance). You can get to the center very cheaply by train - the new airport train station "Krakow Lotnisko" is located just behind the parking garage opposite the terminal. Trains leave every half hour, in 17 minutes you can get to the main station for only 8 PLN (about € 2,-).


    Arrival by car

    Parking: in the city center (near arrival hotel), approx € 70-90,-/week, at the Airport € 20-30,-/week.

    Free parking near the bike rental available.

    Driving in the centre is really complicated so if you decide to arrive by car, use GPS-navigation. The best way is to take the following route: Pasternik - Opolska - al. 29 Listopada - Warszawska (do not miss it the turn aft er the bridge over the railway!) - Basztowa - Westerplatt e - left to Kopernika st. where you will fi nd the gateway to the hotel parking.


    Arrival by train

    Train station: Krakow
    If your luggage is not too heavy you can get to the hotel by an approx. 10-15 minutes’ walk. Otherwise a taxi is a good opti on (cost approximately 10zl = approx. € 3,-). If you do not have any zlotys you can find both currency exchanges and cash machines near the railway station.


    Additional information

    The first night of the tour can also be booked in Vienna (if you would like to combine the tour with the Danube Cycle Path, for example). Surcharge according to price list.

    It is possible not to travel to Vienna on day 8 and to use the transfer to Krakow. Discount for not using the included train ride according to price list.
