A Short Cycle Around Mikoluv - Independent Cycling

The Czech Republic, thanks to the beautiful and varied countryside, architecture, rich culture and other culture monuments has become one of the most visited countries in Europe. Shortly after the 1989 revolution a group of people - calling themselves Greenways, began exploring ways of preserving the unique cultural and natural heritage of the Czech land. The Greenways, non-profit organization of Czech and Americans working together, attracted widespread support from towns and villages, the private sector, regional and even national government. Their effort was successful and in 1995 they established a tourist route stretching for 250 miles from Vienna to Prague along the Dyje River in Southern Moravia and the Vltava River Valley in Southern Bohemia. A marked cycling trail was added to the route in 1997
