Privacy Terms. Quick links. It's looking like it's going to be in the region of about miles and I've got two weeks to get it done. Due to me carrying a bit of extra weight panniers and beer belly and the desire to stop for a day every so often when I fancy it, I'm not expecting to have time to ride the full route. I don't want to be spending days riding through grim or boring areas, only to find nearing the end of my trip, I've run out of time and have to potentially bypass some fantastic roads approaching Prague, just to catch a plane.
The family will be visiting the in-laws in Prague so no problems with arriving early just not too early! I'm not great with hills either, hence the reason for crossing Germany in the north rather than the south maybe one for next time when I'm a bit fitter. Thanks in advance. I missed Berlin, but then you can't do it all. I seeing some of the half-empty East German towns was an eye-opener.
As Iviehoff says, the area just south of Dresden is worth visiting and stopping a day or two to explore on foot - the 'Saxon Alps' are not very high, maybe a few hundred metres, but some very strange rock formations and very pretty. I don't remember too much of the route south of that to Prague. Once south of Prague the route to Vienna is quite hilly, but I enjoyed that part of the country much more if you choose to go further than Prague, you should be fit by then.
