The Tábor region is greatly appreciated by cyclists due to its varied landscape, which provides an opportunity to make trips to all parts of the region. An extensive network of marked cycling routes, covering a total distance of 400 km, runs to all points of the compass.

The Tábor region offers plentiful places of historical or natural interest scattered in beautiful, varied countryside. The slightly undulating landscape is dominated by the river Lužnice, which encircles Tábor through a deep valley surrounded with forests and rocks. Fields, meadows, streams and ponds give the final touch to the beautiful countryside. To be able to enjoy the variety you need to get on a bike and set off.

Marked cycling routes
Cyclists experience varied landscapes in the Tábor region – flat areas around Veselí nad Lužnicí and undulating ones around Jistebnice and Mladá Vožice, where the altitude of some hills is about 700 metres above sea level, otherwise the altitude ranges between 450-650 metres above sea level. Marked cycling routes will take you to roads with little traffic or to forest tracks. More than 400 km of cycling routes were marked in the Tábor region in 2003 and in autumn 2004 there have been benches, large maps, bike racks and garbage bins available along the routes. We recommend that you purchase maps where cycling routes are marked.
