That is 57 percent of the 3,415 routes we map in Czechia. They are shorter than the local average, 4.4 km against 13.9 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 97 m (318 ft) against 305 m (1,001 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.
