Itinerary

Parc National de la Suisse Saxonne

Embark on a captivating journey through the heart of Saxon Switzerland National Park! Our comfortable, air-conditioned minivan will pick you up directly at your Prague hotel at a pre-arranged time. As you cruise along the Elbe Canyon towards the majestic Bastei Bridge, our knowledgeable and entertaining guide will share fascinating insights about the passing landmarks, bringing the region's history and beauty to life.

1 hour 40 minutes
Bastei Bridge

Experience Bastei, the crown jewel of Saxon Switzerland! Explore several breathtaking viewpoints, among which the most stunning overlooks the Elbe Canyon, the largest sandstone canyon in Europe. From a height of 190 meters above the river, behold the beauty of Saxon Switzerland National Park - the table mountains of Lilienstein and Königstein with its impregnable fortress. Then walk across this magnificent Bridge perched high above the river Elbe. This awe-inspiring landmark holds the distinction of being the first tourist attraction in the region, constructed in 1851 to connect the rocky peaks with Neurathen Fortress. Prepare to be marveled by its architectural wonder!

1 hour
Neurathen Castle

Sandstone towers and the Neurathen castle ruins will remind you of the golden age of this medieval place. We will walk you around, show you all viewpoints and point out the best photo spots.

After exploring Bastei Bridge and Neurathen Fortress, we'll embark on a scenic drive through the Elbe River Canyon to the Czech side of the National Park - Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

40 minutes
Pravcicka brana - Sokoli hnizdo

(Not available from November to March) The 2km 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.

2 hours
Bohemian Switzerland National Park

You need to recharge your batteries, so the next stop will be a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant. A rich "a la carte" lunch will be a welcome and well-deserved reward. Traditional Czech and international dishes are served (including vegetarian options). We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with the locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome at this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place that will be waiting for you ready before our arrival. In addition, we have an advantage over other guests in the kitchen, so the wait for food is significantly shorter.

1 hour
Tiske steny

Then we will drive you into the 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. Anyone who ventures into the bowels of the rocks to enjoy the extraordinary charm of natural beauty will be rewarded with a nice experience. And as you know, no one can take the experience away from you.

The beautiful mountain region of the national park was breathtaking. Simply wonderful. Our tour guide Adam was awesome and very entertaining with the story of the region. Fantastic tour.

Magical outing to amazing nature

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing trip to some beautiful sandstone formations north of Prague. From a former medieval fort on picturesque cliff walls over the Elbe, to the largest sandstone arch in Europe, this trip didn’t disappoint. After a delightful lunch, we walked to a magical stream valley and took a boat ride in a lush canyon.

Great day.

The guide was wonderful and the sights amazing. Beware the second hike is long and the third hike is quite steep.

A quality and high-end service

Published on Aug, 2024

A quality and high-end service. From the beginning to the end of the excursion, the Bohemian Swiss and Saxon hike is a high-end service. The welcome is at the door of our apartment at 7:30 in the morning by Ondre and Monica is very warm. The transport in an air-conditioned van is comfortable and Monica has a pleasant drive. Snacks are available all day and the lunch is excellent Our guide comments on the journey and explains the course of the day. We start with the Bastei bridge in Germany a quiet walk. Then start the hike to the Pravčická brána arch and the visit to Park tiské stěny, a very picturesque place. A memorable day thanks to the kindness of our guide and his collaborator, who are fantastic they pampered us and made this incredible day an unforgettable moment and surely the best of our stay.
