Begin your day stress-free as our seasoned guide picks you up directly from your accommodation in Dresden. From that moment, we'll handle everything,
ensuring a seamless and delightful day for you. Relax in a comfortable minivan as we transport you to the national park Saxon Switzerland in Germany,
while our knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights into the area's history, geology, and culture.
Our first stop is the breathtaking Bastei Bridge, perched atop a towering rock formation, offering mesmerizing views of the
Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Capture unforgettable photos of the stunning landscapes that surround you. Explore the magnificent Neurathen Fortress,
a captivating sight nestled amidst the sandstone landscape. We'll delve into the medieval era, exploring the remnants of the stronghold that
once housed vigilant guards. We will move to the Czech side of the National Park - Bohemian Switzerland. Our route will wind its way through charming villages
Bad Schandau and Hřensko, allowing us to soak up the beauty of the region's architecture.
The 2 km hike navigates us to the Pravcicka Gate. Approaching it from below, you will see the majesty with which it stands at the top
of the surrounding landscape. It is the symbol of the Bohemian Swizerland National Park and you will know why, once you see it.
After a demanding hike, you need to recharge your batteries, so we will stop at a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant.
Local Czech and international dishes are served (including vegetarian options). We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one
of the best in the world.
Tisa Rocks labyrinth, where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed. The rock city with lots of towers, small squares and mysterious corners will win
you over with its captivating beauty. At the end of this unforgettable journey, we'll return you to your hotel, allowing you to reflect on the day's adventures
or continue exploring the beauty of the surrounding area.

We had a lovely day! Adam led us on an interesting and informative tour and our driver Roman took good care of us on the road. This tour was our second choice due to the fires in the National Parks area and we’re glad we booked it!

We had originally booked a tour with another operator, but that got cancelled due to the forest fires. Then we found this tour on Viator and as this goes to another part, it was not affected by the fires. In the morning when we got picked up, it was just just the 2 of us. We were very lucky, normally tours are done with a minivan but instead we were driven around in luxury style in an Audi Q7!
The view at the Bastei was impressive and we had a not too long hike (but tiring due to the hot humid weather). After the Bastei we had a good lunch just across the border in the Czech Republic. This gave us plenty energy for a longer hike, again with very pretty sights and plenty of photo moments.
After this hike our tour was finished and we got dropped off at our hotel. As it was just us in the car, we didn’t have to drive around Dresden dropping others off.
Our guide spoke very good English and the driver drove us in a safe manner. They did a great job. Would definitely recommend this tour!
