Climb analysis: This 3rd category climb has a varied profile. The first section (KM 0-0.5) kicks off right away at 5%, followed by a short, welcome breather (KM 0.5-1.0 at 2%). The real difficulty starts at KM 1.0, with a sustained stretch of 6% to 7% over almost 3 kilometers. The finish is unusual, with a 400m descent (-3%) that takes some of the sting out of the last part.
Pacing tips:
1. Managing the start: Resist the temptation to go out too hard in the first 500m. Use the 2% section (0.5-1.0) to recover and settle into your rhythm.
2. Finding a steady rhythm: From KM 1.5, the gradient holds steady at 6-7%. Settle into a cadence and power output you can sustain over this long stretch, which is the heart of the climb.
3. Planning for the finish: The final descent means the hard effort ends before the summit. Empty the tank up to KM 4.5, then the downhill section will let you catch your breath on the way to the top.
Riders who have climbed the Přemyslovské sedlo describe an accessible climb, perfect for a family outing or a no-fuss spin. The access road is a comfortable asphalt road, although some riders report it's so narrow that two cars barely fit, so you need to stay alert around car traffic.
What makes this climb memorable is its role as an exceptional starting point. Riders stress that it's a real crossroads, a perfect spot to leave the car and get going. The effort pays off with breathtaking views over the Praděd massif, the Dlouhé stráně or the Králický Sněžník, even though the pass itself sits in the forest.
The vibe is often described as calm and unspoiled, a "koutek zapomenutý" where you meet few people. However, riders are realistic: on sunny days, the spot's popularity with families can lead to parking difficulties and a fair bit of crowding.
For nature lovers, the ride is enhanced by the proximity of nature reserves home to rare flora, such as orchids. The loop from the sedlo, taking the Knížecí cesta for example, makes for a relaxed ride, sometimes a bit demanding over the first few meters, but in a setting where riders truly feel alone in the world.
