Hřensko village - a beautiful center of the national park
We will take a walk to the most popular natural attraction in Bohemian Switzerland National Park - Pravcicka Gate, Europe’s largest sandstone arch. Filmmakers used it to create the magical world of Narnia in their movies. Mysterious, hidden deep in the woods, the impressive symbol of the National Park stands 21 meters tall, leaving all the spectators in admiration. Amazing experience and stunning views!
Delicious lunch in the middle of the National Park We take you to our surprising and stunning restaurant that is popular for its best local beer and traditional Czech cuisine. We will treat you with personal VIP seating, great local Czech beer, and a delicious A la carte lunch (main course with 9 options and drink of your choice). The food here is delicious. All vegetarian and vegan friends out there, we got you covered too with some delicious veggie delights.
The most romantic part of our trip will take place in the gorges of Kamenice River Canyon in the most preserved part of the National Park. You will take a walk beneath rock ledges, several tunnels, and across narrow footbridges. So deep in the heart of Bohemian Switzerland, that some parts are only accessible on a small river boat. The cruise between the narrow sandstone walls is one of the most serene experiences and our favorite spot in the National Park.
The Bastei Bridge and Neurathen offer the most beautiful views to the Elbe canyon, the deepest sandstone canyon in the whole Europe, surrounded by wild German nature are unique only to this area.
The last point of interest is Bastei in the Saxon part of the National Park (Germany). The Bastei rock formation has plenty viewpoints over the Elbe canyon on the right bank of the river Elbe. You can walk across the famous sandstone bridge that connects Bastei and explore ruins of old Neurathen rock castle. We will deliver you back to your hotel with your camera full of beautiful photos and one more story to tell.
We will deliver you back to your accommodation in Prague around 7 pm with your camera full of beautiful photos, great memories with new friends and one more Bohemia Adventure story to tell.

We had the best trip with our guide Aldin! The tour was so well thought out and the pace for the moderate hike group was perfect for us. We got a great workout in, saw some amazing views, and had great conversations. A true highlight of our vacation!
Truly amazing time on the Bohemia Saxony tour, went solo and had a great time! Our guide, Filip was incredibly knowledgeable and kind! Price is high, but so worth it honestly. I will warn that it's a longggg hike for the whole day, so be ready! You may feel dead by the end, but the experience is so worth it. Only sad thing is that the better view of Bastei Bridge was closed due to storm damage when I went :( but of course, Bohemia Adventures has no control over that.
Our guide’s name is:Misu. We had an absolutely wonderful experience with our tour guide. I am 73 years old, and I truly appreciated how patient, friendly, and thoughtful he was throughout the entire tour. He was very professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. He never made us feel rushed and always made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. His service was exceptional, and his warm personality made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We have had many travel experiences, but he is definitely one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and caring guide. Thank you so much for making our trip such a wonderful and memorable experience!
Excellent day tour from Prague. The 3 major highlights of the national park was phenomenal. So beautiful, amazing views, and fantastic hikes. Our guide Misu was great, his English is perfect. Lunch is included, water and snacks throughout the day.
What an incredible adventure! Communication from our guide Vladimir was excellent starting from the evening before in prepping for the trip and even throughout the day when he would share links to other must sees. Everywhere we went was stunning, I only wish it was possible to view these sights closer to dusk.
This tour was fantastic from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we were lucky to have perfect weather throughout the day. Our guide, Vladimír, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and accommodating, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The hikes were well paced, the viewpoints were stunning, and the boat ride through the gorge was a real highlight. It was also great meeting other people in the group and sharing the experience together. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Prague and looking to explore the incredible nature of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland.
Misu was an excellent guide: very knowledgeable, respectful, and generous. And, importantly, a wonderful photographer! The views were even better than I'd been expecting. Good lunch. I'm glad I did the Tisa Labyrinth option -- although the description had made it sound physically challenging, there were only some steps, nothing harder than the other stops.
Ondrej was an excellent guide! A great trip for anyone. Highly recommend!
Long day, with challenging walks. But well worth it. The sites were great and a beer at the beer garden at under the arch was an apt reward for the effort. Van very comfortable for our group of 6. Although if there were 8 it might be a bit cramped for a full day. Our guide Mirek was great. Knowledgeable, patient and planned ahead keeping things moving. Overall an amazing experience.
This was a wonderful experience. Jules was an amazing guide. The hikes were tough but he made it feel as though nobody was a burden at all for going at their own pace. The lunch was quite good as well and was more than enough for a lunch in small little town after a the large hike to see Pavcicka. It was well worth money and well worth the sweat and steps.
