Kokotské rybníky (Dyšina) nature trail

Nice trail through nature and archaeological site of middle ages village.

Kašperské Hory/Bergreichenstein - Jewel hiden among the the Bohemian Forest

Kašperské Hory is a mountainous resort rich in the history and attractions. Main square is full of restaurants and hotels. Delicious food, buildings are renovated and the offer is reach. We enjoyed most during the visit in Glassworks were we could blow our own mugs. From the city Kašperské Hory we walked through the fields and forest to the castle Kasperk build by Charles IV. Great atmosphere inside and interesting guide tour - suited for the time of the year. We learn about the Christmases in the middle ages castle and my son played the Charles IV himself.There is also possibility to ski. Definitely worth of visiting for the few days.

Jeleni vrch on the way Prague - Berlin

On the east side of highway Prague - Berlin, just a few kilometers before the border there is a beautiful forest for the break: Jeleni vrch near Telnice. The peak is covered with forest so it is not crucial to get there, but the area itself is nice and offers diverse nature to experience.

Białowieża: among the primary forest

Białowieża is a village int the east of Poland, surrounded by Białowieża Forest - the last part of the virgin forest that once stretched across the European Plain. If you wanted to feel the original nature it is a place to go.

Feel like in Dead Sea, only 1 hour from Berlin

Do you want to try how is it to swim in a water with 24% salinity? Do you want to swim outside in October? Try the fun in Bad Wilscnack thermal spring. It is healthy too. The salinity is a bit lower then in Dead Sea, but it gives the impression. Two hours in the salty pools where just enough for us, but also the city Bad Wilscnack is nice to walk and spend some thine there. You can get to Bad Wilsnack by RE2 from Berlin, it is faster and more comfortable then with a car. Caution: Make sure to not have any scratches or better do not shave a day before. Salty water can then bring you more pain the pleasure.

Cycling with children from Bratislava to Budapest, following Eurovelo 6 and Danube

Take a map

Eurovelo 6 from Bratisalava to Butapest is prepared but, but not 100%. There are parts of the road that lead on the usual roads with cars traffic. Also the signs are not always on the place, so be sure to take good map or download some gpx before. You can also use ours (althought small part is missing):

Level

The terrain is nearly flat all the time and therefor it is perfect to cycle with kids. The youngest participant from our group that cycled on his own was 5 years old! We did around 30 km per day, with maximum of 50 km per day.

Attractions

There are lots of attractions on the way. Beautiful cities: Budapest, Bratislava, Komarno, Eszegrom...Druging the first night we stayed in the camping in Čunovo with lot of water sports attractions including rafting and surfing. In Komarno and Štúrovo are thermal baths of a great smell and taste. We have eaten lot of Langos - local specialties, Bryndzove Halusky in Slovakia and many fruits and vegetables cooked on our one, that we bought from local people. Hungary is a free country, you can sleep on the beach and have a fire place there. Great atmosphere. People are very nice and friendly. Only sometimes it is hard to communicate. It is good to learn a few Hungarian words before.
