In 10 words: Easy ride in the lush valley with two small but not so easy climbs.

The Lion Trail is an epic, nearly 2000 km long cycling itinerary in mixed terrain packed with diverse natural, historical & cultural landmarks and sights in the Czech Republic. It is divided into 100 sections of various difficulty levels; joined together they form the Bohemian lion—the state emblem—on a map. Majority of the trail weaves through Central Bohemia, with Prague in the role of the lion's heart, but it also visits East, North, West and South Bohemia as well.

RIDE THE LION AND WIN!

The first user to report completing all 200 shorter rides (marked 1a–100b/100) will win Kinomap membership FOR LIFE!
The first user to report completing all 100 original sections (marked 1–100/100 FULL) will also win Kinomap membership FOR LIFE!
Every user reporting completing the Lion Trail within a calendar year in whatever mix of rides will win Kinomap membership for 1 year.

🚨 Make sure to also check my other videos and playlists focused on the two places I am fortunate to call home alernately: Czechia and Corsica.

For the best possible experience I always recommend to download the video before riding.

A like 👍 or a comment 💬 will always be much appreciated!

Have fun! 🤩
