While the Elbe is only the second longest river in Germany, it is definitely the number one river among cycle tourists. Immediately beyond the German-Czech border, the river is greeted by the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland National Park. The route passes through the Elbe valley, amidst romantic, rugged scenery. The world-famous Semperoper opera house and reconstructed Frauenkirche church can be visited in Dresden. The route northwards is characterised by wetlands, and passes through countless fascinating towns that are rich in history. Torgau is one such town. It marks the point where the American and Russian forces met shortly before the end of the Second World War. Torgau is the symbol of the defeat of the German Empire in 1945. In the Lutheran town of Wittenberg, it is possible to follow in the footsteps of the great reformer, Luther.

The route connects two European rivers (Danube and Elbe) via the Moldau river. It passes the picturesque UNESCO town of Cesky Krumlov. The best section of the Moldau river route is past České Budějovice and château Hluboká n/Vltavou. After Týn n.Vltavou the route leaves the river and joins it again before Prague due to the cascade of water dams built on Moldau. After Prague the route follows the Moldau trail all the way to Melník with outstanding château and steep vineyards at the confluence of the Vltava (Moldau) and the Labe (Elbe) rivers. From Melnik route is parallel with the Elbe trail. You will pass Theresienstadt, a former Nazi concentration camp and Jewish ghetto. Past Žernoseky the route enters Porta Bohemica, a steep Elbe valley with vineyards. The route cuts through the Bohemian uplands, which is characterised by ancient volcanoes. With a short detour you can visit a cross border National park Bohemian-Saxonian Switzerland with magnificent rock formations and deep gorges at the Czech-German border.

The sunbathing cycle - EuroVelo 7, almost 437 km in the Czech Republic, copies either the Labská trail  - in the section Hřensko - Mělník or the Vltava cycling route - in the section Mělník - Vyšší Brod. The first part of EuroVelo 7 from the border with Germany to Prague is designed for relaxing cyclists regardless of age or condition, the second part from Prague to Vyšší Brod and possibly up to Linz is destined mainly for sporty-minded cyclists. More than one week's reward will be rewarded by all who choose the rich cultural and natural monuments for the Sun Cycle Route as well as the wandering along the two largest Czech rivers of the Elbe and Vltava across the Ústecký, Středočeský and Jihočeský Regions.
