Our pack set off again. The Renault polish broke down, so this time it was missing, but it was replaced with dignity by the reconstructed Majova T4. She got a new varnish and the black and white combination is very good for her. We set off on Friday after work in the direction of Nové město nad Váhom without Miša, he came to see us at night. We found a nice place by the Váh canal and had a few glasses by the fire.
And here it is !! The weather in September wishes us, so we are planning a trip to the La Rocca campsite in Konstantinovy Lázně again. This time already in full formation, even with his daughter. The last time we got there with bicycles was by train. This time we put it in full fire on bikes from Pilsen to the camp - 45 km. We are waiting for our daughter to get out of school, things packed and around 16.00 we leave.
Martin and I have one thing in common. Our girls like to ride a bike, but they don't despise other outdoor activities either. In order to preserve the decor, we arrange a walking trip. Now straight to the Brdy Protected Landscape Area with a great destination, namely the TOK signpost with an altitude of 865 meters. Even now, as I write about it, my legs hurt, but what else. We have to snatch. The girls slapped their bikes last week.
The time of covid was not over, but my friend and I still wanted to go somewhere on vacation. I was driving the internet and came across a beautiful caravan. I immediately fell in love with her according to the photos. The bungalow was located in the Beautiful Field. We decided to go out on the weekend, it's better for us in time. I had the reservation done in a few minutes and it was enough to wait a week and we could go.
The Covid madness continues successfully for the second year, and in my opinion, even those who invent it do not know the measures. Probably the goal :)). After the experience from last year, when we toured the whole Balkans without any problems, I know that we would be at peace by the sea, but the circus after returning to Slovakia is not worth it.
Everything I made up about cycling activities came out this week. That's why I wanted to use the wool and finally ride the border bikes from the Czech Republic to Germany. As a destination I chose the German Šumava - Bavarian Forest National Park and a clear goal in it, namely Grosser Falkenstein with an altitude of 1315 m. However, I did not tell the girls that it will be "probably" only uphill.
Two years ago, I drove a route that I saved after an acquaintance who rides a semi-professional. I was interested in the route, because it is purely for XC bikes and XC riders (even non-riders) who are not afraid of the terrain.
When asked Míša if we would go on a hiking trip there and there, my answer was always: "Why would we walk on it? It will be faster on a bike" However, under the weight of her argument, I decided that the hiking trip would be nice. Understand the word argument, it inflated me so much that I had no choice .. :)). In addition, buddy David is also a hiking enthusiast. So we just got together and drove.
I accidentally managed to plan a nice route around Hromnický lake near Pilsen. I added a few extra kilometers to the route, so that this bike trip was worth it and Kája (daughter), who seemed a little busy .. :)) The weather was good. To motivate the girls, I promise at the beginning that at the end of the ride we will go for a bath .. :) The whole route can be downloaded here:
Finally, a nice day was looming, so it was clear that we were going for a bike ride. The goal was to bypass Hracholuska, which would mean driving around 75 km. I wanted it to be a Challenge for my Míša, but I had no idea that we would all rake to the bottom of our strength, including my friend Péti, who joined us on the first part of the route ...
We have been going to the La Rocca campsite on bikes for a long time. Unfortunately, the weather didn't like it, but in the end it worked out. Originally we wanted to ride bikes straight from Pilsen, which is about 45 km, but somehow it didn't work out. My daughter had scouts for that weekend, so we had to escort her, and then it was too late. However, we enjoyed the bike ride (even with a swim) at the weekend anyway, but only then ..;)
Finally, the weather came out for the weekend and we decided to ride our bikes and go roast our sandwiches. By the term "weather came out" I understand that we only got wet once :). On that occasion, I decided to finally evaluate my darling, namely the Bear Grylls knife, full name "Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate Knife SE" ...
If you want to go cycling in South Moravia this year, I recommend an easy trip from Veselí nad Moravou to Prušánky. This trip will take you through the beautiful landscape of southeastern Moravia, which is slightly bordered by the White Carpathians, long meadows and picturesque floodplain forests ..
Four days off have come and no one will keep us at home anymore. We went where the senseless Covid measures allow us to. Our pack, which last year passed through the whole of Slovakia and grew to include a French Renault Trafic polish with a lifting roof. The circle has closed and the number of children has been added, so they are happier again.
Where are the times when types for cycling trips and everything connected with it, read only zealous riders in cycling jerseys and full equipment under the ass ... Or dreamers who hoped that they would one day be the zealots in the jersey. Probably most of this change was felt in Prague, where the wave of renting bicycles, scooters and everything that would move us came, without crowds in public transport.
If you want to experience a beautiful and adventurous Saturday or Sunday, bake the cutlets, put them in a backpack, put on proper shoes in nature and go on a trip just outside Tišnov to Trenck's gorge. You will have to overcome a lot of pitfalls and obstacles and you will also test your courage, for example when descending from a rock with the help of a chain or a climbing rope, which are attached to the rock with staples.
And we have a long-promised Christmas competition here, where you can win Vouchers for camping places to the Vranovská pláž campsite (Vranovská přehrada). This camp is one of the most visited and at the same time the best rated campsites not only in South Moravia, but also in the Czech Republic in general, so we do not have to introduce it in any particular way. Who was not in this camp, be the first to throw a stone ...
The Hont region, which lies in the southern part of central Slovakia, offers many natural and cultural monuments. We are located in a seemingly inconspicuous southern part of the region, where there are less visited natural monuments, but perhaps more interesting for the wider area, because they are little "peeked" ..
As you all know, my family and I are lovers of camping in the wild and with our campervan we have traveled perhaps half of Europe. You can download all the routes we took in KMZ format at the links below. I will gradually add to them. If anyone would like another format, write in the comments ..
The motivation of this trip was to combine recreational cycling with a visit to beautiful mountain places. While wandering around Turcom, we discovered a pleasant village with an atmosphere of folk history, culture and architecture. In the distinctive village called Blatnica, we were interested in Blatnica Castle, but also in the nice folk houses with the original Turkish architecture. Nature completed the magical atmosphere of this place.
