Weather
The Central European continental climate
consists of long, hot summers and
cold,
snowy
winters. The best time for cycling
tours is between April and October.
In the
summer months it can get quite hot.
Bear in mind that it will be cooler on
the
mountain
tours at this time. May June and
September are generally good months to
take
advantage
of the cooler, but still warm
weather.

It must be noted that, according to the tourism calendar, the
first two weeks
in August
are when most people go for their
holidays. Generally July and August are
the busiest
months. We
mention this with regard to seeing cultural monuments and
UNESCO
protected
areas with greater ease and with less people
around.
