What is it about?

This conference that is held every year is dealing . Because in the Czech Republic HPV and recumbent bikes are rather unknown, this bicycle tour would be public relation for HPV in Europe.
For saturday morning (9 June 2001) TV and press are invited.

So: Those who like to do a bike tour with other bike freaks, who like to get to know wonderful Karlovy Vary and its western surrounding, should join this tour. On friday 08-06-2001 we cycle from Windischeschenbach via Cheb and Sokolov along the Ohre river to Karlovy Vary, where we are going to arrive in the evening. There will be inexpensive accomodation.

Getting there

Karlovy Vary is on the much frequented road about 50 km away from the German border (checkpoint Waldsassen). The bike route recommended by Bretislav Polak is a bit longer, 65 km on smaller roads.

With the Bayern-Ticket (40 DM for up to 5 people) one can go cheaply by train near the czech border, then the remaining way to Karlovy Vary is not very far and can easily be done in one day.

As a starting point Windischeschenbach is recommended; from Munich you can reach it by train as follows (timetable of Deutsche Bahn):
