This trip was AWESOME especially with the fog and the snow. I’m sure it’s great in the summer but the winter vibes really made it special. The overlook was absolutely stunning and the rocks area was so cool to see. Dalibora was a fantastic guide and really made it special for us. ...

A very organized & professional tour

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour to national parks in East Germany and Northwest Czech Republic. Jitka was very knowledgeable about everything along our journey and passionate about the parks.
