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.

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 .
