Itinerary
The tour commences by pick ups in Prague city center
Your first stop will be the "Tisa Rocks" national natural monument, located at the heart of the natural reserve "Elbe Sandstones". Your guide will lead you through narrow passages and along bizarre stone pillars, reminding you of a fairy tale land. It is no wonder that scenes from the famous fantasy movie "Chronicles of Narnia" were filmed here. You will have enough time to slowly explore the area and access the tops of the rocks to enjoy the great views.
Transfer from the Czech Switzerland NP to the Germany and it's Saxon Switzerland NP
After a tasty lunch, the guide will take you to the German side of the Saxon Switzerland National Park, to the "Bastei", an iconic rock-formation, medieval times fortress and a stone-bridge high above the river Elbe. An easy walk will take you to the main viewpoints overlooking the huge Elbe canyon with table mountains all around. With good weather, you can enjoy a beautiful sunset from this place as well.

This was a fantastic experience that allowed us to see the beauty of the countryside while we were staying in Prague. We also stopped for lunch at Zlatá Liípa hotel and had a terrific meal there. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming, and did everything he could to make our experience an excellent one.

Very good atmosphere. Very nice guide. A little disappointed because not enough walking.
Thank you for your feedback Floriane! 🙂 We’re happy you enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and our guide. We’re sorry the amount of walking didn’t fully match what you hoped for. This particular tour is designed as our easier, shorter option, with more scenic stops and viewpoints. Next time, we’d warmly recommend choosing one of our longer, more hike-focused trips - our team will be glad to help you pick the best fit. - Vitek, Founder & Owner, Northern Hikes
Martin was our guide for the day, and he was awesome!! Everything was amazing, from the start to finish! Martin was absolutely the best guide—so knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and super patient!! I was nervous about traversing the terrain (icy)… but it was no problem at all with the added gear for our shoes. I am so very happy that we did not miss out on this tour!! Highly recommend!!!
Hi Pam, thank you for your review 💚 We’re so glad Martin made the whole day feel easy and fun, and that you felt confident on the icy terrain with the ice spikes. It means a lot to hear you’re happy you didn’t miss the tour, and we’ll be sure to share your kind words with Martin. - Vitek, Founder & Owner at Northern Hikes
