Sunday

To start our day, we walk around the grounds of former summer residence of Liechtensteins at Lednice. After a light lunch we walk through forests and around lakes of Lednice - Valtice parkland, decorated two centuries ago with pavilions in different styles. We end our afternoon with a delicious wine-tasting before returning to our hotel.

Monday

After a short drive to Mikulov situated in the heart of Moravia's wine region, we walk through its small town centre, adorned with jewels of Baroque architecture. We then hike into the nearby Palava hills, a splendid nature reserve with medieval ruins, rare flowers and lovely views. We end our day with a transfer to our next hotel in Telc.

Tuesday

After catching a small train which takes us to a typical part of the local landscape known as "Czech Canada", we walk to Slavonice for lunch.  Later we walk through forests and meadows towards Jindrichuv Hradec (Henry's Castle) where we stay in a hotel in the central square.
Overnight: Jindrichuv Hradec

Wednesday

We walk through forests, past lakes and brooks to the little town of Trebon with its colourful historic buildings, cobblestone streets, ancient fortifications and moat.  After lunch in a local cafe, we journey on to Cesky Krumlov, one of Europe’s most beautiful and best-preserved towns.
Overnight: Cesky Krumlov

Thursday

From the hotel, we walk out of the town, through the castle grounds up to the hills of Sumarva National park. This is part of the "Sudentenland" where, until 1946, it was mainly inhabited by Germans but now it is almost a deserted wilderness with meadows, forests and distant views of the castle. We return to Cesky Krumlov for lunch and then a guided tour of the richly decorated castle, one of the largest in Central Europe, originally constructed in the 14th century into the side of the rock cliffs  towering above the Vltava river and giving stunning views across the rooftops of the town.
Overnight: Cesky Krumlov

Friday

We transfer by bus from our hotel to the center of Prague and walk the 'Coronation Route' across the magnificent Charles Bridge and up to the imposing Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle in the world. We tour the castle and walk back down to our hotel located below the castle and close to the bustling activity of the street artists and musicians on Charles Bridge. We end our day in a fine city restaurant for our Farewell Dinner.
Overnight: Prague

Saturday

There is no scheduled transfer at the end of this walk as many Wayfarers opt to stay longer in Prague to explore this splendid city further.
