Top 3 Gems of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks

You Can Visit in One Easy Day

From Dresden From Prague

Discover the most captivating sights of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland in one day. From dramatic sandstone arches to peaceful rock mazes, our small-group and private tours from Prague or Dresden take you to the region’s top highlights - all with an English-speaking guide, comfortable transport, and included meals, so you can relax and fully enjoy the experience.

1. Bastei Bridge

The Bastei Bridge is the symbol of Saxon Switzerland - a stone walkway stretching across towering rock pillars above the Elbe valley. From the viewpoints you’ll see rolling forested ridges and the river winding below. It’s easy to reach, impossibly scenic, and a perfect place to pause and take it all in. Our day trips from Dresden and tours from Prague bring you here with no fuss - just great views and time to enjoy them.

2. Pravčická Gate

Pravčická Gate (Pravčická brána) is the most famous landmark on the Czech side - a dramatic sandstone arch that crowns the forest. The nearby Falcon’s Nest (Sokolí hnízdo) adds a touch of history and charm. Visiting here alone can mean parking and a steady uphill walk - with our Prague tours or Dresden day trips you’ll arrive relaxed and ready to enjoy the view.

3. Tisá Rocks

The Tisá Rocks (Tiské stěny) are a compact sandstone maze of narrow passages and tall rock towers - atmospheric, calm and surprisingly photogenic. The circuit trail is easy to walk, great for everyone who wants a sense of adventure without a long hike.

Bonus: Wild Gorge & Kamenice Boat Ride

As a special bonus, the Kamenice River’s Wild Gorge offer a gentle boat ride between mossy cliffs - a quiet, almost cinematic experience. The ferry ride is handled locally; we include the logistics on our Easy Top3 Tour from Dresden or on private trips. It’s a wonderful way to slow down and see the canyon from the water.
