Last-minute Sunday bike trip through Podyjí National Park on 08 September 2024

I am planning to go for a bike trip in the Podyjí National Park (German: Nationalpark Thayatal) at the Austrian-Czech border. The starting and ending point is Retz which is reachable from Vienna by train in about 1.5 hours. The train runs every hour and we would take a morning train, either around 8:00 or 9:00 am. 

In Retz there is a swimming pool so you might want to take swim gear with you (29 degrees are forecasted for Sunday).

The route is about 47 km long (possible to extent by further 20 km) mostly on asphalt and forest roads. A trekking bike should be enough, although on the Czech side there might be some stretches where a MTB might make the pedaling a bit easier.

Train from Vienna (stops at many different stations) to Retz and back
