Description

Bohemia is an authentically romantic and timeless destination, making it the perfect backdrop for our classic cars. They seamlessly blend into the charm of Czechia, a country with a great many castles and historic spas where the rich and famous once indulged in drives akin to those we’ll be undertaking.

Our journey commences in the enchanting Karlovy Vary, known as Karlsbad in German. Renowned since the 19th century for its numerous thermal springs, this riverside spa town boasts a spa district with elegant colonnades and the modern Hot Spring Colonnade, home to the impressive Pramen Vřídlo geyser, reaching up to 12 meters.map-of-Czech-republic for via bohemia pre war rally

Venturing into the heart of Czech craftsmanship, we’ll welcome you to the nation’s premier glass factory, conveniently located near our Grand Hotel, where the rally kicks off on Sunday morning.

Heading south, we briefly cross into Germany before reentering the Czech Republic. Our destination is the Hluboká Castle, where our accommodation in the historic former administrative buildings awaits. The following morning, we explore the amazing castle before embarking on our journey once more, traversing forests and fields, passing past Prague, over the Krkonoše Mountains, briefly through Poland and back in the mountainous area of Northern Bohemia.

On the seventh day of driving, an unexpected surprise await – something that will leave us all in awe. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, there’s more. Truley mind blowing !

The subsequent day unfolds beautifully as we drive over the mountains along the Polish border, returning to our starting point in Karlovy Vary. We highly recommend extending your stay in this wonderful town, perhaps indulging in some shopping at its many beautiful stores.

As always with the rallies organised by Via Flaminia, this is a relaxed rally where competition serves the atmosphere, winning is not an end in itself. Those who want coffee along the way can do so. No time restriction. Of course, we do expect you in time for lunch and dinner. Classification is done by navigation and competition for last place is sometimes fierce. There are 30 places available for cars up to 1980.
