From Deštná to Jindřichův Hradec
Discover the beauty of the Deštná region from the saddle of an e-bike. No hill is an obstacle – it’s entirely up to you how long a route you choose, or whether you opt for one of the suggested trails in the Deštná region.
From Deštná, head northeast along cycle route No. 1182 to the village of Světce, then turn right onto route No. 1239, which will take you to Horní Radouň. From there, continue south along a side road to the right of the main road. You’ll pass through Okrouhlá Radouň, Kostelní Radouň, and Dolní Radouň. From there, follow the red tourist trail past the Fejrar and Velký Hroch ponds to Radouňka. The Nežárka cycle route will then lead you into the center of Jindřichův Hradec. From there, follow the red tourist trail again, which will take you past the airfield to Děbolín, where you can take a short detour to the Rýdův kopec lookout tower. Continue along cycle route No. 1148 through Velký Ratmírov to Studnice. There, join route No. 32, which leads through Pluhův Žďár to the Červená Lhota Castle. From there, take route No. 1182 northeast back to Deštná.
