Experience Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks in their calmest and most peaceful season. This all-inclusive winter day trip from Dresden takes you to the region’s most spectacular open viewpoints - without summer crowds or complicated planning.

A True Winter Wonderland – Without the Crowds

Winter transforms the sandstone landscape into a peaceful world of frosted cliffs, quiet trails and dramatic viewpoints. Walk across the famous Bastei Bridge high above the Elbe River and explore the natural rock maze of Tisa Rocks, whose fairytale formations inspired the world of Narnia.

With heated transport, a cosy restaurant lunch and an English-speaking guide, everything is taken care of. Fewer visitors, crisp air and clear views make this the most serene way to experience the National Parks.

🌞 From April to October we go on Dresden Summer Tour instead.
❄ You can also take this Winter tour from Prague.
