Near Plesovice

plesovice, czech republic

I had heard that the Czech Repubilic was a biking paradise- and it is. Tons of well-marked, well-maintained routes, and almost no traffic. Some of the routes I took were purpose-built for bikes, but most were just like this- just a single-lane country road. I did some riding on dirt paths, but mostly on hard-surface roads (it's easy to tell which is which on the maps). There's veery little traffic between these small villages, so the roads stay in very good shape. There are maps (complete with distance and elevation profile information) just full of roads like this one, which happens to be just outside of the small community of Plesovice. Roadside shrines are a common feature of the landscape, some of them seemingly far from any amount of present-day traffic.
