Long-distance cycling path connects Czech Republic and Austria

A new long-distance cycling path was opened in the city of Jihlava on Sunday. Some 1000 cyclists attended the opening ceremony, including Tour de France participant Ján Svorada. The path, which leads from Jihlava to the Austrian town of Raabs an der Thaya, is 110 kilometers long. Last year, parts of the cycling path located on the Czech Republic side were repaired. The repair, which cost 58 million Czech crowns, was financed by EU funds. It took several months to complete.
