What to expect
Expect gentle to moderate cycling on park trails with varying terrain. Your guide will point out local ecology and lead you to spots where the castle appears in unexpected frames—far from the crowds at the main entrance. The landscape alternates between shaded forest sections and open grassland. Pace is deliberate enough for conversation and photography. You'll cover roughly 10–15 kilometres depending on the exact route and group speed. Bring water and wear appropriate shoes; helmets provided.
Good to know
E-bikes remove elevation strain if you need them. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Pack your own water and snacks; lunch and transport are your responsibility. Wear sun protection and closed-toe footwear.
