Saxon Switzerland National Park: Our most recommended tours and activities

From Prague: Tour to Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland

From Prague: Tour to Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland

Start with pickup from your accommodation in Prague 1, or a meeting point in Prague 1, and head to Germany to visit the famous Bastei Bridge in the Saxon Switzerland National Park. This part is relatively easy. Admire the breathtaking views and then drive through the Elbe Canyon back to the Czech part of the park which is called Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Kind reminder. This is a typical hiking tour. We are getting many customers who underestimate a physical difficulty of this tour. In order to fully enjoy this tour, you should have at least moderate level of fitness and no mobility impairments. Depending on the season (From April to October), visit Pravcicka Brana, the largest sandstone arch in Europe. This impressive structure looks like something out of one of the Lord of the Rings movies. To get there, you must walk 3 km up the hill, which is not very steep but may be challenging. Afterward, have lunch at a local family restaurant run by a mother and her daughter. Do not have high expectations about the restaurant. You will be literally in the middle of the forest where civilization exists only 7 months of the year in the season. People are simple and the food too. After lunch, head down the hill and stairs to the scenic Edmunds and Wild Gorges and take a boat trip on the water (From April to October). And then walk the same way back on the hill. This part is probably the most challenging. Depending on the season (November to March), you will visit the Tisa Rocks, a key attraction in the area, and admire the views. The total hiking distance divided into three parts in the main season is about 12 km. We cannot judge the difficulty of the tour. For us it is easy. Like a walking in the park. Because we are very fit. However some tourists claim the tour is extremely hard. So the truth is somewhere in the middle. Just remember that all those nice places on our pictures are not next to the road and you must take some effort to get there. Which is rewarding too. So if you understand this tour is a hiking, not a walking, you are welcome to join it.

Overall rating

4.7
(1,120 reviews)

Wow~wow~it's so beautiful, a wonderful journey, the tour guide is very professional and loves this national park, the tour content is very rich and practical, and takes everyone's safety into consideration. ~~It's very cold and requires some physical strength, but it's all worth it.

This might have been the highlight to our Prague trip. Our guide, Adam, was nice, fun, friendly, and knowledgeable. And the scenery was breathtaking! I'm already planning to do it again with more friends!

I recommend this guided tour. Tiské Stěny was very beautiful with snow and it was a wonderful ride only 1 hour drive from Dresden. The guide was spectacular and helpful.

The landmarks and views were really cool, Vojta was amazing as guide and food was great and refreshing, recommending dish 5 and Apple cider as drink ;)

A wonderful tour where the guide was very accommodating to the group's wishes. Good planning and a very tasty lunch.
