A lovely ride from the mountain city of Liberec, Czech Republic

The sun is finally out and we are enjoying riding around when we can. The other day we went up to Liberec to visit a friend of mine who used to live in Prague. We were running late and were in a hurry to get there, so we took the freeway up - NOT fun! But at least I realized that I will need a windshield for our trip to Scandinavia, we are planning on taking the freeway during the "boring" parts to get to the more interesting ones :)

Arriving in Liberec I was reminded what a nice town it is! For those who have time I definitely recommend stopping by. It is a very clean town with gorgeous houses, and the area is very hilly.

After our short visit we headed back towards Prague -- this time avoiding the freeway!

We took the 592 down to Osečná, and got some excellent pictures of Ještěd in the background, the famous tower on the mountain near Liberec.

This is also a great places to visit when in the area, the twisty turns up this mount are lots of fun!

We headed to Česky Dub taking the 277 to Mnichovo Hradistě.

The weather was wonderful, the roads clean and practically empty (it was a Sunday afternoon), there was nothing else more we could ask for.

I definitely recommend this route to others looking to get out of Prague for awhile or those who just want to enjoy a nice ride.
