This private day trip takes you from the Danube port of Linz through the Mühlviertel region to Český Krumlov in South Bohemia. The UNESCO-listed town with its castle and old town in a bend of the Vltava is one of the most popular excursions on a cruise day in Linz.
From Linz you head north through the gentle hills of the Mühlviertel, past Freistadt and across the border into the Czech Republic. The route roughly follows the old trade road that once carried salt from the Salzkammergut to Bohemia.
In Český Krumlov your guide shows you the castle precinct with its courtyards, the painted castle tower and the Cloak Bridge, then leads you down into the old town with its square and St. Vitus Church. You hear about the Rosenbergs and Schwarzenbergs and have time for a Bohemian lunch.
This private shore excursion is planned around your ship's schedule. Your guide keeps an eye on the clock so you are back on board relaxed and on time.
