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

A unique experience. You leave the Czech Republic, visit the national park in Germany (enchanting), then return to the Czech Republic to admire other national parks. I highly recommend it. The guide and the company team were wonderful!

Unquestionably one of the most beautiful places to hike, I would argue that this is one of the greatest ways to touch the grass and take in the scenery. Jitka is extremely familiar with the area, very understanding of our needs, and she waited for us patiently without hurrying so that we may go at our own speed. Along with providing us with ample water and food on the trip, Milan was also quite sweet to give us a message on the pick-up time. I adore the restaurant's atmosphere and cuisine, and I was moved when my friend's birthday was celebrated with a small birthday toast from our group .
