The second current connection between Vranov and Čížov, ie. across the Vranovská dam, the Swiss valley to Lesná and across the Větrník hill is still longer and can be used, for example, for the return journey.
In addition to the familiar tourist signs, in the Podyjí National Park, the Czech Tourists' Club has painted bicycle route signs, which, unlike the signs for hikers, have the outer stripes not white but yellow-brown, and are much larger.

On pedestrian paths, where bicycle traffic is clearly undesirable (1st and 2nd zones of the national park) there is also a reduced prohibition sign on the entry of bicycles.
