    The castle day

    June 25, 2020 in Czech Republic ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

    After a nature-focused section yesterday, today's highlights were more related to the towns we passed. We cycled past castles in the Czech Republic as well as in Austria and admired the impressive old buildings on both sides of the border. In Laa an der Thaya, we had an extended second breakfast and enjoyed the view of their townhall.
    We also cycled through many vineyards and passed the so-called "Kellergassen" where the wine is stored. It was tempting to stop at one of the many "Radlerrast" again, but after a bottle of wine we couldn't bike any further.
    The Iron Curtain Trail continued to Mikulov, where we stopped again to relax and enjoy the old part of the town. In Valtice, we left the trail after 3 days and 10 border crossings between Austria and the Czech Republic. The trail leads further South while we are heading towards a Northeastern direction from here.
    We finished our ride on a campground next to a little lake after a detour to Breclav (which wasn't really interesting).
