Cínovec

The destination of the first stage is a rugged, typically border-region mountain village situated at an elevation of about 850 meters, through the center of which Bike Route No. 23 runs directly. The main landmark along the route is the Baroque Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with its mountain cemetery. The village has several guesthouses catering to cyclists, making Cínovec an ideal and safe place to spend the night after the first challenging stage.
