Starting with good equipment good bike, clean helmet, the 40km ride was well done by Francesco. Although navigating out of the city requires patience, the scenery was wonderful, the lunch stop provided really good local food in a relaxed setting, and the ultimate destination in reaching the Castle was great.

Inoltre al contrario di quanto è pubblicizzato, la visita guidata è solo in lingua ceca, per lingue diverse vengono date…”
