Czechia

 Sorry, no Spanish posts on this trip...

The trip from Prague to Dresden is 225 km, over about six days. We have added a few days on each end and one in the middle to stretch it out to almost two weeks.

Our requirements for choosing that location were that the route did not have mountains but did have good beer. Czechia (a name that is now an acceptable alternative to Czech Republic) and Germany have certainly delivered. There was one terribly steep hill the first day where I required multiple rest stops, but the beer has been uniformly excellent.

The path follows two rivers, the Vltava, and later the Elbe. We are mostly along the water, but sometimes go through small villages. I feel like we are doing a tour of alternative transportation options, as besides the bicycles, we have hiked, used trams, ferries, buses, and a cable car. Yet to come is the train.

Towns are safer from marauders at the top of a hill, but that makes them more effort to reach at nightfall.

The tour company booked our hotela, provides the bicycles, and transports the luggage. I would definitely choose this option again. Not only do I appreciate not carrying my luggage, they choose nicer hotels than I would on my own. Here is my bedroom with a 16th century vaulted ceiling.
