Route Description:

This stage can be divided into two parts in case you will find it difficult. The first part is flat up to Dívčí kámen and only contains one moderate climbing up to the hill. On the other hand, the second takes you to the hills where you will be constantly going up- and downhill.

The South Bohemian path leaves from the Přemysl Otakar II Square in České Budějovice around the Town Hall and takes Biskupská Street, passes Malše River and a little park with the observatory and then joins Vltava River. Take again the cycleway Greenway RD, which is also marked with the shell and follow it to Boršov nad Vltavou to the medieval church of St. James. There is the pilgrim stamp in the church. The way takes the shape of meandering river with seldom climbing, most of the time through the greenery until it reaches ruins of the stunning castle Dívčí kámen (Maiden Rock) on a rocky pinnacle. Climb up towards Třísov and Plešovice where you will descend back to the river all the way to Zlatá Koruna (Golden Crown) and its amazing monastery.
