Turn left there and cycle parallel to the R5 provincial cycle path via Wurmbrand (short climb) and Günterreith to... **6.6 km to St. Oswald.** Turn left at the village well and car park and then take the bend to the right. At the monument to displaced persons, continue left uphill to the former customs house. **8 km** Now you reach the **border** with the Czech Republic. Past the "Connect it" sculpture and an information board about the "Iron Curtain", always follow the road to... **10.8 km Rosenhügel/Koranda**. (Large crossroads, shelter hut). At this point, the Schwarzenberg Alluvial Canal crosses the main European watershed - 220 years ago, this construction was a technical masterpiece. You cross the alluvial canal and continue straight downhill. At the crossroads in the hollow, cycle left to the banks of the... **14.7 km Vltava reservoir** (Lipno reservoir). In 1957, the Vltava was dammed near Lipno for a hydroelectric power station. Entire villages could be seen sinking into the lake here. You reach a dam and can see the Bavarian Au on the left. The road now leads to a crossroads. Here you cycle straight on to Přední Zvonková The path leads hilly near the reservoir to a crossroads... **25 km** where you turn left to **Přední Zvonková** (Vorderglöckelberg). Immediately after the village, turn left again... **26.7 km to Zadní Zvonková** Back on the tarmac road, leave it to the east and cycle along the alluvial canal cycle path to the border crossing at the Rotbach lock. At the junction with the tarmac road, continue left and you will soon reach... **29 km Sonnenwald.** In its heyday in the mid-19th century, the glassworks in Sonnenwald supplied high-quality utility and decorative glass to the imperial city of Vienna. In 1854 alone, 33 tonnes of glass were produced here. At one time, up to 140 people lived here - that is hardly imaginable today. The location of the glassworks was above the canal and is no longer recognisable today. You follow the canal road and come across more locks and the "7 Ravens" sculpture. **36.1 km** Cycle to the **Schrollenbach lock.** After around 200 metres, turn right and leave the canal. Climbing slightly, you reach the tarmac district road and continue right to... **38.5 km** **Oberhaag** (possibility to visit the Schwedenschanzen). From here, a steep descent leads back to the... **42 km** starting point **Aigen-Schlägl.** [Request our cycle map for EUR 3.00!](https://www.boehmerwald.at/kataloge-karten/prospekte) [Use the free outdooractive app to navigate the route.](https://www.outdooractive.com/de/route/radtour/region-boehmerwald/moldaustausee-radroute/802594450/) [ Tour and route information ](#ttgCollapseTourdetails) --------------------------------------------------------- **Path number:** 800 **Starting place:** 4160 Aigen-Schlägl **Destination:** 4160 Aigen-Schlägl **duration:** 4h 0m **length:** 42,0 km **Altitude difference (uphill):** 288m **Altitude difference (downhill):** 280m **Lowest point:** 577m **Highest point:** 856m **difficulty:** medium **condition:** medium **panoramic view:** Great panorama **Paths covering:** Asphalt, Gravel **Starting point:** Marketplace. **Destination:** Marketplace. **further information:** - Circular route - Possible accommodation - Board possible [ ![Altitude profile Lipno Reservoir bicycle route](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000150&width=355&height=250&FontSize=12&mkt=en) ![Altitude profile Lipno Reservoir bicycle route](//static.et4.de/ElevationProfileChart/Go.ashx?Experience=hoehenprofil-meta&Server=meta.tourdata.at&AddElevations=true&AddOfftrackWaypoints=false&AddSurfaces=true&AddWaypoints=false&globalid=tourdata_tour_430000150&width=450&height=350&mkt=en) ](#ttgHoehenprofilModal "Lipno Reservoir bicycle route") [ Arrival ](#ttgCollapseAnreise) ---------------------------------- [ Suitability ](#ttgCollapseEignung) -------------------------------------- **Most economical season**- Spring - Summer - Autumn [ Accessibility ](#ttgCollapseBarrierefreiheit) ------------------------------------------------- Please get in touch for more information.
