You can't get directly up to the castle by bike, but it is worthwhile to park your bike and hike up. From above you have a great view over the Waagtal. There are also some bars and takeaways all around.

The complete cycle route on the right side up to Strecno is completed and is also
the underpass under the railway in Varina is already open, so you can make a nice circuit along the bike path. It is not necessary to follow the road from Varina to Teplicka.

Easy route on good asphalt roads. Relax and rest. It's better to go sometime in the season and see the museum at Strecno Castle.
