Čáslav-Žleby Château Bike Tour

Want to spend a pleasant day with your whole family? Plan a Château bike tour from the town of Čáslav, where you’ll enjoy good food, swimming, the white deers of the château park, and a visit to the castle.

In Čáslav, you’ll find a gateway to the Iron Mountains and can enjoy an easy circular ride through the Elbe Lowlands. Before hopping on your bike, be sure to visit the Agricultural Machinery Museum, where you can explore a fascinating collection of historic tractors and other machinery. While in Čáslav, don’t miss the beautifully restored interiors of the Čáslav synagogue, which have been open to the public since July 2023. On a guided tour, you can admire the stunning wooden coffered ceiling above the main hall and the ornamental painting above the women’s gallery.

• Tip for you: To ward off hunger during your travels, refuel at the famous pizzeria in Vyžlovka or grab a juicy burger and sandwich at Bejkn Bistro.

As you approach the village of Vrdy, get ready for a refreshing break at the local Cultural Center. During the summer, you can cool off at the swimming pool, where little cyclists can enjoy the wading pool and slides.

Once you arrive in Žleby, you’ll be enchanted by the fairytale atmosphere of the romantic château, resembling something from an old English novel. Here, you can admire an extensive collection of weapons and antiques, explore the well-preserved château kitchen with its period furnishings, or take a look at the Baroque theater.

Nature lovers shouldn’t miss the Žleby Game Reserve, where you can see white deer, mouflons, and other rescued animals up close. You can also explore the exhibition of raptors and owls, complete with training and flight demonstrations.

Then, you’ll head into the final leg of your trip, returning to the royal town of Čáslav past the Church of St. Mark in Markovice.

• Tip for you: Climb Čáslav’s Otakar Tower for breathtaking views of Jan Žižka Square and the surrounding area. At 255 meters high, you can also gain a unique perspective on your journey.
