Prague – Regensburg

This trail was used already by prehistoric hunters and its importance is proved by the high number of castles and ruins. In the past they assured safe passage of goods on this important road and nowadays they create very romantic panoramas on the way. The natural beauty is granted by wonderful karst caves near Prague, lovely Regen and Chamb river valleys and Bohemian Forrest. Good food, but most importantly high quality beer will you find first of all in the center of the Czech brewing industry – in the town of Pilsen with its Pilsner Urquell.
