Route description 100 Ponds Tour Litschau

The forests not only keep the wind out, but also provide shade. The majority of the route has been laid out on low-traffic freight and sand paths. The gently rolling Upper Waldviertel with the bordering South Bohemia and the huge pond plateau, declared a biosphere nature reserve by UNESCO, is a true cycling paradise for everyone. With a bit of luck, you might even come across a white-tailed eagle, otter or other animals in the wild. (1/2 day tour)

The South Bohemian Pond Plateau is particularly family-friendly, as the route is very flat and sheltered from the wind by the forests.
