CRUISING & BIKING THE MOLDAU & ELBE RIVERS IN PRAGUE
With Optional Extension to Dublin, IrelandDate: July 7-15, 2018 (or 19th w/Extension)Leader: Frank PeñarandaPrice: $2,730 Top Deck; $2,480 Main Deck; Add $400 for Dublin ExtensionThe “Heart of Europe” is a good description of the destination for our next Bike & Barge adventure. The region formerly known as “Bohemia” evokes exotic culture, customs, and history; not just for its resplendent cities, but also for its villages and country-side. Our starting and ending point is the city of Prague, one of the few large cities whose buildings, monuments, and culture were spared from the devastation that WWII brought to the rest of civilized Europe. We will have ample opportunity to visit this major capital of Eastern Europe, but also the villages and hamlets that dot the course of the two principal rivers in our journey: the Vltava (also known as the Moldova or Die Moldau in German) and the Elbe; all close and personal on bikes or on foot.
This promises to be one of the most rewarding trips we have offered, and will fill-up very quickly, so if you are even remotely interested, please contact the trip leader immediately to reserve a spot.
