Cycle the heart of Europe including four historic capitals
Central and Eastern Europe offers a vast range of landscapes, languages, cultures and cuisines. Once the seat of the Austro Hungarian Empire, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary boast a rich history, nowhere better demonstrated than in their capital cities. Outside these historic urban centres lie vast areas of winding rivers and forests, many now maintained as national parks, as well as numerous castles and rural towns and villages. This is the setting to a fascinating biking trip, taking us down country lanes, marked cycle paths and through this changing scenery. The terrain is not challenging however the route covers a good distance to ensure we see the best of what's on offer. From the banks of the Danube to the wine cellars of Moravia, there is plenty to see and experience every day, and no more relaxing a way to see it than with the freedom offered by a bicycle.
