Very nice, smooth asphalt on this section. First, the Elbe River comes into view, then a castle on the hill.

The city's historic center combines Gothic and Renaissance elements. It's worth walking across the market square and climbing the stairs to the 60-meter-high Green Gate, from where you can see the Pardubice Palace and Kunětická Hora Castle! The boundaries of Pardubice's old historic city center are closely linked to the original city walls and the castle grounds with their defensive walls. A Neo-Renaissance town hall towers above the old historic market square, fronted by a Baroque Marian column. The 60-meter-high Green Gate has survived from the city fortifications. The most interesting Baroque listed building is tenement house No. 50 on the market square, called "U Jonáše." The ground floor of this building retains its reticulated vaulting from the early 16th century. The palace in Pardubice is the pride of the city. It is an exceptional example of a transitional form between a castle and a palace. It dates back to the reign of the Pernštejnov family in the late 15th/early 16th century and is currently the seat of the East Czech Museum and the East Czech Gallery. The Roman Catholic Church of St. Bartholomew is located near the historic center and was built on the site of a former monastery. Among the oldest buildings in Pardubice is the Church of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary, founded in the mid-14th century by Ernest of Pardubice.

From Pardubice to Podebrady: Lots of beautiful sections, but also some that are strenuous and even dangerous! At least 20km of single trail or dirt roads of any quality are more suitable for mountain or gravel bikes. Before Podebrady, crossing the bridge becomes a real adventure, see pictures. I wouldn't want to have to do something like that when it's wet.
