Explore las montañas de arenisca del Elba en la República Checa

What an incredible day!! Petr picked us on time and we went to collect one more guest and then we headed out (washroom break at gas station). Safe and comfortable ride through countryside villages to the Geopark and what a stunning place! Up carved steps, through tight crevices, past tree tops. Amazing rock sandstone formations, trees, flowers and mushrooms. We even saw a deer! Petr was knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area and knew a bit about the flora and fauna. We took maybe a couple of hours to do a loop, stopping whenever we needed a break (good workout on the legs!) or for the best lookouts for photos. We then continued on to the Hruba Skala castle. Had an amazing lunch at their restaurant (great traditional meat dishes but also fish and veggie option for non-meaters like me). Then into the small castle museum and up to the top of the tower for great views of the area, where Petr had a little, fun surprise for us! Our final destination was the monastic brewery which was very cool - we tried all the beers in the atmospheric cavern. Very delish and great conversations. Then a relaxed and chatty drive back to the city. It really was a fabulous day out - great to escape the city and get into the beautiful countryside. Well worth the money. Petr was great! Chatty, funny, helpful and full of information. Felt like a fun day out with friends (other guest was great too!). An adventure not to be missed!!

Jan and Peter were very knowledgeable about the area and history as well as very fun and personable. It was a wonderful day filled with hiking, new friends, beer, and good food. I highly recommend this experience.
