Printers
Several companies and organizations produce professional, printed maps of cycling routes:
- SHOCART produces an extensive line of maps covering the Czech Republic, and also maintains the free-to-use CykloServer online map.
- The Czech Hiking Club (Klub Ceskych Turisto, KCT) produces hike/bike maps.
- Bikeline produces a number of maps for routes along the Danube and other locations, available in multiple languages.
- elbe-cycleroute.cz produces a map of the Elbe route.
- Žaket produces a cycling oriented atlas.
Note that the big 1:240000 atlases or maps which several of them produce are only really useful for very long rides, and/or riding throughout the country. Otherwise they cover a lot more ground than is needed, but aren't detailed enough to be very helpful in particular areas, especially in following confusing routes within and nearby Prague.
