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.

Trip was amazing. Michal was great. Went above and beyond even with little things. Highly recommend. Tiring but well worth it!
My wife, 10 year-old son and I had a terrific time! The description of the adventure matched our experience. Jules was a thoughtful and fun guide the entire time who added plenty historical and geographical references. Plenty of water, snacks and walking sticks for all. Our van could seat 7 passengers very comfortably. There were more sights at each location than I thought there were going to be. We had a great traditional lunch at a scenic rural spot right before the boat excursion. It was a great workout but very rewarding which our group paced ourselves due to it being unseasonably hot. I will recommend it to anyone that comes to the Czech Republic.
We had a wonderful adventure today with our guide Jules. Everything in the tour was well arranged - from pick up/dropoff to lunch to boat ride. It was seamless. Drinks, snacks and hiking poles were adequately provided for. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
A great day out in the country with beautiful scenery. A friendly tour guide, good lunch and a fun adventure!
Robert was such a great guide. He was very knowledgeable, funny and accommodating to everyone’s needs. Great scenery! Boat ride was a bit short and there’s a steep climb back up so one couple chose to skip that part. Was not a problem at all.
Fantastic time spent with Robert as our tour guide. He was very good at describing what we were seeing and also very flexible with us taking the breaks we needed. He knew the history of every place we stopped at and passed by.
We spent 5 nights in Prague and decided last minute to book this tour and we are so thankful that we did. Robert from his first hello was an absolute treat! He is funny, knowledgeable and accommodated all of our requests and answered our many questions. We laughed so much! Our group of 4 are fit which we felt was needed to complete this tour as there are many, many stairs and uphill, uneven terrain. That said the views at the end of each trail was 1 million percent worth every step! Plus we got to see parts of Czechia and Germany that we wouldn't have known existed. It was the break from the city that we didn't realize we needed. I 100% recommend this tour and if you can, ask for Robert. He is a GEM of a human!
