route description

Start by bike and come back by train
If you’re a train lover like we are, you simply have to try this route. From Loučovice, it starts off with a bit of a challenge – nearly 300 meters of climbing – but then comes the best part! You’ll cruise down a forest road all the way to Studánky. We just can’t resist stopping by the local brewery. But don’t overdo it with the beer, because there’s still a descent waiting for you via Drkolná to Herbertov. There, while waiting for the Lipenka train, you can watch paddlers battling the Herbertov weir. And then? A dreamy train ride back, with stunning views of the Devil’s Streams. Isn’t it just perfect?
