Bohemian-Moravian Borderland — Litomyšl, Polička and Toulovcovy maštale

The Bohemian-Moravian Borderland pairs the UNESCO-listed chateau in Litomyšl with the sandstone maze of Toulovcovy maštale and Polička's medieval walls. It lies exactly where Bohemia meets Moravia: you can drive here from Prague in a single morning, so even a long weekend leaves time for Renaissance towns, a rock town and a royal castle above the valley. The roads here are quiet and the towns small and easy to read — an ideal combination for families who do not want to spend half of their time off behind the wheel.

Itinerary
Day 1Arrival in Litomyšl and the Renaissance chateau

Set off from Prague in the morning so that you have the whole afternoon for the chateau. The Renaissance seat of the Pernštejn family has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1999 and its façades are covered with sgraffito decoration, from envelope patterns to figural scenes; on the ground floor the Classicist chateau theatre has survived with working stage machinery and its original sets. Inside the grounds, visit also the flat where Bedřich Smetana was born and the chateau cellars with sculptures by Olbram Zoubek. The evening belongs to the arcades of Smetanovo náměstí and, just off the square, to Portmoneum with its murals by Josef Váchal.

Day 2Toulovcovy maštale, the walls of Polička and Svojanov Castle

Toulovcovy maštale is a rock town inside the Maštale nature reserve and the only way through it is on foot — follow the red trail from Budislav or from Vranice, in between the sandstone blocks and overhangs to the Mojžíšův pramen spring. With a motorhome, stay on the edge of the village; the parking areas around the village greens are narrow and a longer vehicle will not fit into them comfortably. In the afternoon move on to Polička, ringed by an unbroken belt of medieval walls with nineteen surviving bastions, and climb up to the little room where Bohuslav Martinů was born, in the tower of the church of St James. End the day at Svojanov Castle, founded some time around 1265 together with Polička and standing on a promontory above the Křetínský potok stream — in April, May and October it is usually closed on Mondays, so check the date before you go.

Day 3Moravská Třebová and the journey home

The last day belongs to Moravská Třebová, an urban conservation area in north-western Moravia. The entrance portal of the chateau bears the year 1492 and ranks among the oldest dated Renaissance monuments north of the Alps; on the square stands the Renaissance town hall with a tower from 1521 that has no foundations, and a plague column from 1720 by the Olomouc sculptor Jan Sturmer. After lunch turn back west — you will reach Prague by the evening without any rush.

Practical motorhome information
🛂 Tolls and vignettes

Up to 3.5 t: an electronic motorway vignette applies on Czech motorways. Under the price list valid from 1 January 2026, vehicles on standard fuels pay 300 CZK for ten days, 480 CZK for thirty days and 2,570 CZK for a year; vehicles running on CNG, LNG or biomethane pay roughly half that, plug-in hybrids emitting up to 50 g CO₂/km even less, and electric and hydrogen vehicles travel free of charge. You need the vignette for the drive out of Prague along the D11 and D35, while the region itself is served by lower-class roads where you pay nothing. Over 3.5 t: the vignette does not apply, the vehicle has to be registered in the MYTO CZ electronic toll system and fitted with an on-board unit; the toll is calculated from the distance covered, the emission class and the number of axles, and it applies to motorways as well as selected first-class roads, so go through the tolled sections on the map before you set off. There is no toll mountain road, tunnel or ferry anywhere on the route — apart from the toll, budget only for admission to the monuments and for parking in the towns.

⛺ Campsites and stopovers

Autokemp Primátor, Litomyšl (Strakovská) — ten pitches for caravans and motorhomes with an electricity hook-up, plus open pitches on the grass that also have a hook-up; there is a pub in the grounds and the centre is within walking distance. · Kemp Opatovec, Opatovec u Svitav — beside the Starý Valdek natural swimming lake, 250 CZK a night for a motorhome and 200 CZK for a caravan, electricity hook-up from 200 CZK extra. · Camp Krouna, Krouna — a small site on the western edge of the region, open in the 2026 season from 30 April to 12 September; 120 CZK a night for a motorhome, camping pitches have no electricity and payment is in cash only.

🌙 Overnight parking

The most sensible approach is to pick one campsite as your base — from Litomyšl and from Opatovec alike you can reach every stop on the trip, so there is no need to move on evening after evening. The Maštale nature reserve is out of the question for overnight stays, so return to the campsite even after a full day among the rocks. In Polička and Moravská Třebová expect ordinary car parks on the edge of the historic centre rather than bays reserved for motorhomes; both centres can be walked around in a few minutes.

🚰 Water and servicing

The safest place to top up is Autokemp Primátor in Litomyšl — the grounds have a water point as well as a waste water disposal point, and the site lies on the edge of town right on the way into the centre. The second option is Kemp Opatovec near Svitavy, which has hook-ups and sanitary facilities. South of Polička, around Svojanov and in the area of the Maštale rocks, do not count on anything of the kind, so fill the tank in Litomyšl before you head for the rocks.

Adria Twin Supreme

The Twin Supreme measures 5,998 to 6,363 mm, so it gets through the village streets of Budislav and along the narrow road up to Svojanov Castle, and it parks in an ordinary town car park in Litomyšl or Moravská Třebová without any fuss. Four travel seats and up to four berths are still plenty for a family spending two nights at a campsite.
