Start at Prachatice train station and follow red tourist route to the top of Libin. In the forest red route becomes single trail and there are unrideable parts. Sometimes it is possible to go around steep or rocky part of the red route by going to the sides.
From the top of Libin follow blue tourist route to Chroboly. This is mostly single trail – sometimes easy sometimes pretty technical. Rock formations along the route.
From Chroboly there is a short segment on the road. Then take another red tourist road and another climb to Ktiš. This time the climb is on gravel roads mostly.
From Ktis there is another tourist route possible – green. The issue is is goes partly through military area. The area is open on weekends and it is possible to use marked routes there, but … the gravel roads there are completely unmaintained, muddy so I don’t recommend to go there. We left it very quickly, because it was not a ride anymore. So use the road to Chvalšiny and enjoy the gas station in the middle of main square there :)
Then the rest of the route are climbs and downhills while keeping somewhat the same altitude contour line around Kleť. You can end anywhere on train station there – Český Krumlov, Zlatá Koruna, Plešovice (I recommend the pub/restaurant right next to the train stop) or even go further.
