Gravel Tour Hlinsko

Hlinsko is a unique gravel destination set on the edge of the Pardubice Region, where the rugged Iron Mountains (Železné Hory) meet the rolling hills of the Žďárské Vrchy Highlands. Just a few kilometres away lies the scenic Vysočina Region, and the race route spans both areas, offering a truly diverse and challenging terrain.

Hlinsko has earned its reputation as a leading gravel hotspot, hosting major events since 2019, including the start of the Czech Gravel Championship on three occasions. Behind the scenes is an experienced organising team with over 30 years in professional sports event management, ensuring a world-class experience for every rider.  The start is located next to the multi-sport stadium near the city centre, where you’ll also find full race facilities – registration, showers, catering, and more.
