    Roadbook

    The cycling route Across Czech Canada starts in Jindřichův Hradec, initially running concurrently with CT1113 to the village of Jindřiš, where it diverges and follows instead the red line of Jindra's educational walking trail. At the ruins of Vítkův Castle, it leaves Jindra's trail and returns to CT1113, which it follows through Malý Ratmírov to the village of Vlčice, where it definitively leaves it and switches to route CT1115, then goes to Střížovice and continues to the village of Kunžak, which you pass, and still along CT1115, by a steep climb you reach the settlement of Jitra at an altitude of 700 m. Here CT1119 also briefly joins the forest section, but after about two km CT1119 leaves again and you continue pleasantly undulating forest terrain on CT1115 for about another 2.5 km, where at a forest crossing you leave it by turning left onto CT1241. Then by pleasant gentle descent you reach the village of Matějovec, where at the village green you leave CT1241 by turning right onto CT1004, then through the village of Stálkov and around the abandoned medieval settlement of Pfaffenschlag you reach Slavonice, the destination of today's ride. The route Across Czech Canada runs only on publicly accessible roads. The total length of the route is 40.6 km.
