Prague Hostel

8 days, planned by Old Mule Routes
Eight days in Czechia rather than through it — Prague, a sandstone arch on the German border, and the Vltava in the south.

| Malá Strana |
| Old Town Square |
The Old Jewish Cemetery has around twelve thousand stones and perhaps a hundred thousand burials — the community was confined and buried in layers.

Sedlec is decorated with the bones of perhaps forty thousand people. Photography is now banned inside and the ban is enforced.

The gorge is walked partly by flat-bottomed punt, poled by a boatman who tells the same jokes he told your parents.

Twenty-six metres across and you cannot walk on it — the arch was closed to feet in 1982 because the sandstone was wearing.
| LANDMARKS |
|---|
| Pravčická brána |
| Falcon's Nest |
| Sandstone towers |
The town sits inside a tight meander of the Vltava, which is why it is shaped the way it is and why it never expanded.
| LANDMARKS |
|---|
| Český Krumlov |
| Castle tower |
| Vltava bend |
The Šumava was a closed military zone on the Iron Curtain for forty years, which is why it is the least disturbed forest in central Europe.

Three hours by train, and the airport bus from Hlavní nádraží.

“Self-guided European walking with route notes and luggage transfer”
Route notes, GPX and a van that moves your bag. No leader on the hill, which suits some people and not others.
Czechia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Worth every rupee.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Would send friends their way.
Czechia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Czechia done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Well paced over 8 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Solid operator.
That one crosses four countries and gives Prague two nights. This stays in Czechia for eight days and spends half of them outside the city — the sandstone country on the German border and the south. Different trip entirely.
