Through the countryside between Třebíč and Nová Říše
After leaving Třebíč, the route winds through peaceful countryside. Along the way, views of rolling hills open up, alternating with small wooded areas and quaint villages that have retained their original character to this day. It is here that the charm of a gravel ride truly shines—the opportunity to discover places that lie off the beaten path of major tourist routes.
One of the pleasant stops is the area around the Sádek Winery, the highest-altitude winery in Moravia. The local vineyards prove that even the Vysočina region can surprise you with its winemaking tradition and offer unexpected experiences.
Nová Říše and the Mařenka Lookout Tower
A highlight of this stage is Nová Říše with its monumental Premonstratensian monastery, which for centuries was one of the region’s most important spiritual centers. The atmosphere of this historic complex invites you to stop and take a short break.
Not far from there stands the Mařenka Observation Tower, the highest peak in the Třebíč region. From the observation tower, you can enjoy sweeping views of the Vysočina landscape and, on a clear day, even of the more distant parts of the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.
Return to Telč
The final kilometers wind through a landscape that seems tailor-made for slow travel. By now, you’ve gotten into the rhythm of the Vysočina region; you notice the details around you more keenly and realize that the greatest experience of the entire journey isn’t just the individual sights, but the landscape itself that connects them
.
Arriving in Telč has a special atmosphere. The Renaissance square, which served as the starting point of the entire journey, becomes a symbol of its completion after several days in the saddle. The return doesn’t feel like the end of a sporting feat, but rather the conclusion of a journey through the history, architecture, and nature of the Vysočina region.

Safety information
The route follows paved roads, gravel roads, and forest trails. After rain, unpaved sections may be muddy, slippery, or covered with loose gravel. In some places, expect rocks, tree roots, potholes, and ruts.Exercise extra caution on downhill sections, at blind forest intersections, when passing through towns, and on sections with motor vehicle traffic. In the historic centers of Třebíč and Telč, expect increased pedestrian traffic and respect pedestrian zones as well as any restrictions for cyclists.
Tips and suggestions
Although the actual riding time is about four hours, with stops at the Sádek Winery, the Mařenka Lookout Tower, the Nová Říše Monastery, and Telč, you should set aside at least six to seven hours for this stage.Refreshment options are limited outside of Třebíč, Sádek, and Telč. Therefore, be sure to bring plenty of water and a light snack. Before you set out, check the weather, the conditions of the unpaved roads, and the current opening hours of the winery, the lookout tower, and the monastery. Save the route to your phone or navigation app for offline use.
Roadbook
After leaving the city, you’ll head into the rolling countryside of the Třebíč region. Here, quiet roads alternate with dirt and forest trails, small villages, and open spaces offering views of the countryside.
A highlight of the route is the Sádek Winery. The vineyards, situated at an unusually high elevation, serve as a reminder that a winemaking tradition can also be found in the Vysočina region. You can combine your stop here with refreshments, but always check the current operating hours in advance.
The route continues to the Mařenka observation tower on the highest peak in the Třebíč region. The observation deck offers sweeping views of the surrounding forests, villages, and the undulating Bohemian-Moravian Highlands.
