Technically easy multi-day biking trip requiring bike fitness and stamina. Suitable for all kinds of bikes except for road bikes.
We hop on the train on Wed, 13.05. to reach Prerov (Czechia) after 2 hours where we eat dinner and sleep.
Thu, 14.05.: Prerov-Klimkovice (Czechia), about 85 km
Fri, 15.05.: Klimkovice-Cieszyn, about 75 km; Cieszyn (Cz: Tesin) is a twin-town on the PL-CZ border, apparently very picturesque (never been there myself); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cieszyn
Sat, 16.05. Cieszyn-Bielsko Biała, 50 km; Bielsko-Biała is a very pleasant town in PL, scoring high (if not highest) in some life-quality rankings of medium-sized cities in PL, right at the foot of the Beskidy mountains.
Sun, 17.05. train back to Vienna in the early afternoon (around 14:00); before: short hike or sightseeing
There is a bit of a hassle with the train tickets for the Polish train and the number of places for bikes is restricted to 7, so I would like to buy them early on. For the time being, it's impossible to buy the bike tickets through öbb (they tell you this in the last step, when you want to pay) and through the Polish website you can buy only ticket+bike ticket, with no possibility to cancel. This means that once you sign up for the bike tour, you will need to pay for the train ticket back from PL. On top of that, a deposit will be requested (for all the accommodation bookings which are possible to cancel until the beginning of May).
