TANDEM CLUB INTERNATIONAL RALLY - FYMBURK - ROUTE INFORMATION
GENERAL POINTS
Routes may appear to be relatively short. This is because we judge the terrain in general to be fairly hilly (probably more so than Gourec) and parts of some route
are on tracks or poor quality tarmac. The total ascent shown is only an estimate.
We have tried to avoid main roads, where possible. There is a dedicated cycle track along some parts of Lake Lipno.
All of the routes can be followed on SHOCART 1:60000 cycling map 157. This shows many local cycle routes, which are numbered on the map and some are
signposted, which may help navigation. The map also shows where routes follow sections that are not tarmac. The map should easily allow you to modify your
route if the terrain, the surface, or the distance are not appropriate.
The SHOWCART map can be ordered from the Map Shop, Upton on Severn, ( http://www.themapshop.co.uk/ or 0800 085 40 80 ). Allow 4/5 weeks to be sure
of delivery, as they may not have it in stock.
The maps on the following pages show suggested routes. It should be possible to transfer these onto the SHOWCAT map, with highlighter pens, as by and large
the routes follow the local recommended cycle routes shown on the map. Alternatively use the GPX tracks for the rally or the URL links to the BikeRouteToaster
website. (However please note that BikeRouteToaster tends to seriously underestimate the total ascent.)
There may be a long distance between cafes and restaurants on some routes.
FERRIES
There are 3 ferries across the lake. We think the information below is correct but it may be best to check times locally. We have also avoided using the middle
ferry from Dolni Vltavice in the suggested routes. (Reason below.)

Operating from June to September. However, it is necessary to book in advance and to count on waiting for other
passengers, since the ferry rate (at least CZK 700) is distributed among all of them.
