Teunis – Netherlands

Such a great tour – I would highly recommend it! 10/10. The nature is beautiful, and the views are absolutely worth it. The tour guide is the nicest person – always checking if anyone needs water, a bathroom break, or if it’s too hot.

We had an amazing day with Martin. He picked us up at our hotel and we headed out to our destination. He was so knowledgable and caring. We were aware that strenuous hiking was involved, but the hike was stepper than we had thought. But Martin had walking sticks and no pressure on how long it took to get to the top. When we reached the top, the views were breathtaking. Martin took many pictures. After that we hiked down to the the next stop, the boat ride through the gorge-gorgeous. Lunch at a quaint German restaurant then on to our last stop at the national park. This was by far, the best tour we did in our 3 weeks in Europe. Martin made this trip what it was. There were only 6 people in our tour and we were treated so well. I highly recommend this tour as long as you are physically strong!

Full description

Discover the best of Bohemian Switzerland National Park on a full-day private tour from Prague. Visit highlights like Bastei Bridge, savor lunch at a local restaurant, and have professional photos taken at Pravčická Gate.

Begin the tour with pickup at your accommodation in Prague. Then, drive for 2 hours until you reach the German part of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Walk around Neurathen Castle and admire beautiful views over the River Elbe from Bastei Bridge.

Next, stop at the small town of Hrensko for refreshments. Afterward, take the stairs down to Wild Gorge, a spectacular deep and narrow valley in the River Kamenice. Hop in a boat and sail for 20 minutes along the gorge to take in views of the rocks and nature.

Head back up the stairs after the boat trip and replenish your energy with an a la carte lunch at a cozy local restaurant.

After lunch, prepare for the peak of the tour: Pravčická Gate. Take an easy 45-minute walk there, then marvel at the biggest sandstone gate in Europe, made even more famous by the Chronicles of Narnia, and soak up the spectacular views of the area from on top of the gate.

As you walk around Pravčická Gate, a famous local photographer, Julius Pufler, will take your photos. After the tour, receive professional, high-quality photos of you and your group.

Once you’ve explored Pravčická Gate, take an easier and quicker walk down before beginning the journey back to Prague. The tour concludes with drop-off at your accommodation in Prague. The boat in Gorge is operating from April till and of the October. There is different destination instead. It’s called Tisa rocks. Beautiful sandstone maze or rock city.
