Our Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland Scenic Tour with Bohemia Adventures was an amazing experience! We chose the hiking option, and it was totally worth it. The landscapes of Bohemian Switzerland (Czech Republic) and Saxon Switzerland (Germany) were absolutely breathtaking. A huge shoutout to our guide, Michal Misiu! He was super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip even more fun. He also provided special equipment for snow hiking, which was a game-changer. We were lucky with clear views in the morning at Tisa Rocks, but by the time we got to Bastei Bridge, the fog had rolled in, giving it a completely different but still magical vibe. If you’re planning to go, check the weather in advance, as it can change quickly. Highly recommend this tour—especially if you get Michal Misiu as your guide!
