Begin your day stress-free as our seasoned guide picks you up directly from your accommodation in Prague. From that moment, we'll handle everything,
ensuring a seamless and delightful day for you. Relax in a comfortable minivan as we head to the national park Saxon Switzerland in Germany,
while our knowledgeable guide shares fascinating insights into the area's history, geology, and culture. You will arrive at your first destination ready
to begin your adventure.
Our first stop is the breathtaking Bastei Bridge, a famous spot perched atop a towering rock formation, offering mesmerizing views of
the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. A visit here is well worth the effort for its breathtaking scenery. Capture unforgettable photos of the stunning landscapes
that surround you from this iconic vantage point. Explore the magnificent Neurathen Fortress, another remarkable spot 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, crossing the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.
The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is located in the Czech Republic, and during this segment of the tour, we will be exploring
the Czech part of the national park. 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 involves walking through scenic landscapes as we head towards the Pravcicka Gate. As you approach it from below, you will have
the opportunity to connect with nature and take in the majesty with which it stands at the top of the surrounding landscape. It is the symbol of
the Bohemian Switzerland 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.

Great. Gives you a great outdoor experience to the beauty in the national park. Having the company take care of the driving from Prague makes it easy, and gives you peace of mind when you just have one day available.

Molto bella l’esperienza. Peccato per un cambio di programma al pomeriggio diverso dall’itinerario iniziale.

We where picked up right in front of our apartment by both guides. From Prague it was a 2 hour drive to the first location of the day: the Bastei near Dresden Germany. On this location we had magnificent views overlooking the river Elbe.
Next we drove to the Pravcicka-arch, here we had a winding walk of little over an hour to the top of the rocks, where the arch stands next to a small restaurant.
Last but certainty not least we walked through an almost magical forest with the Tisa walls, sandstone formations where you can guess their names, given by rock-climbers.
In between we had lunch at a restaurant serving local dishes, which we enjoyed very much.
Our little group had 2 wonderful guides (Anna and Eliška) that gave us all kinds of interesting information about the region, the country and its history.
All in all, we had a great day!

Jitka was our guide and Dan was our driver. We had a great time! They were both very personable and friendly. Jitka knew a lot about the sites and we could tell that she was very passionate about her job and loving nature. The sites were beautiful and we had a lot of fun. The food at lunch was delicious. We loved that they pick us up and it was very smooth and easy for us. Would do again!

An excellently organized trip, you benefit from all the necessary comfort and the kindness and enthusiasm of the accompanying staff. During the whole period you have water, snacks, refreshments at the points of major interest (you can also opt for an authentic Czech beer) and the lunch can be traditional and I recommend it to be this way; you also have dessert and coffee. Now let me tell you that all the objects visited are formidable and worth the money paid and the team leaves you enough time to enjoy the visited objectives, always takes pictures on request and helps you with a lot of useful information that you have no way of knowing. I recommend this agency and first of all the wonderful team that accompanies you on the wonderful trip.
