While in Croatia people are being transport by a boat between the islands, in Czech Republic there\u2019s a deal with the Czech railroad company that provides organisers with trains that bring bikers from one destination to another. This way, it\u2019s possible to visit different remote parts of the Czech Republic in only four days. Additionally, the train also works as an overnight hotel. The length of the daily train ride portions vary from 33 km to 73 km.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-161292 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-1024x768.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-161300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-1536x1152.webp 1536w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-1920x1440.webp 1920w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o.webp 2048w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21875967_661959970670125_2047742463_o-1920x1440.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-161300'>\n\t\t\t\tAdam Marsal representing\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o-1024x768.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-161298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895073_662161983983257_1013009591_o.webp 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-161298'>\n\t\t\t\tTrains are important part of the race.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o.webp'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o-1024x768.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-161299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o-1024x768.webp 1024w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21908153_662161987316590_1891748988_o.webp 1334w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-161299'>\n\t\t\t\tGaspi retrieving his precious bicycle.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<figure id=\"attachment_161297\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-161297\" style=\"width: 1334px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895177_662162000649922_1909698436_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-161297\" src=\"https:\/\/d2p6e6u75xmxt8.cloudfront.net\/2\/2017\/09\/21895177_662162000649922_1909698436_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1334\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-161297\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let`s do this thing!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Stage one<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><em>73 km with 1600m elevation<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The route of the first stage was designed to go through the woods surrounding the historical hunting castle K\u0159ivokl\u00e1t that was founded in the 14th century.
