Journey to the Mythical Mount Tábor
Discover the beauty of the Bechyně 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 around Bechyně.
The aim of this route is to visit a unique cult site on the Burkovák hill (also known as Mount Tábor). In the Middle Ages, this place was the scene of many religious gatherings. A replica of a megalithic structure – a stone circle – was built here a few years ago. In addition to breathtaking views, the circle offers opportunities for healing and spiritual strengthening.
