Riding in the Czech Republic
Riding in the Czech Republic, I visit a motorcycle club cave, Jested, one of the greatest views in Czech, and a castle!
Last week I was lucky enough to be in the Czech Republic, the place where I learned to ride and fell in love with riding off road. This time I couldn’t do some off road riding, but I did get to ride some great roads and visit some of my favorite places in the Czech Republic!
The ride I got to borrow? A Suzuki Freewind! Pretty good for a street bike I say. Fast, upright and fun, I had a blast riding the Czech roads on this little beast.
We took the back roads up to Liberec, and once we reached Cesky Dub, which is about half way we decided to stop for lunch. We ended up in this small pub and hotel, which had a great Czech feel to it.
The pub was surprisingly packed, and the crowd at once point broke out in singing! They were so busy they could barely serve us, so we headed out Jested, which has the best view of the Czech Republic by far!
There we were finally able to get some food. Classic Czech goulash, my favorite!
Once we cleared our plates, we headed outside to get some more of the view. B-E-A-UTIFUL :)
It started to get late and a bit chilly (maybe because we were on a mountain?) so we headed out. Next stop was the biker cave! Yep, up here in Northern Czech Republic there is a famous biker cave. During the weekends they have crazy concerts and parties. During the day, just coffee, pancakes, and more! It was a blast and there were tons of bikers there.
It was pretty amazing, they had a full bar inside the cave!
Apparently they have some of the best pancakes around. So we got some. And yep, they were delicious!
After we finished our desert and coffee, we headed out again.
First stop was a gas station. Geez, Itotally forgot how expensive gas was in Europe! And this Freewind needed a lot. Full tank price? About $25. Ouch!
While at the gas station, I noticed something in the background.
Yep, a freakin castle!
Just the ruins of a castle, but still. Only in the Czech Republic I say :)
Our next stop was a real castle, Kokorin. I’ve been to this castle many times before, and it brought back many memories. We didn’t do a tour, but just stopped to get an awesome picture!
Kokorin was a great end to a fabulous day. Made me miss my first adult home, the first place I learned to ride, and all the great friends I have in Czech Republic!
