Highlights
- Prague - Departure from Prague in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. A knowledgeable guide will point out interesting places and monuments around which the journey will lead.
- Parc National de la Suisse Saxonne - - Bastei Bridge, the oldest tourist attraction in Europe
- Neurathen Castle - ruins of medieval castle
- Bastei Bridge - You will walk across this magnificent Bridge perched high above the river Elbe. The stunning views will simply take your breath away.
- Neurathen Castle - Neurathen Castle, a 13th-century rock fortress, is charmingly perched on a massive sandstone formation right next to the Bastei rock plateau. Since 1851, it has been connected to Bastei by a stone bridge. Founded by the Michalovic family, the castle was held until the late 14th century. However, from the mid-15th century, it was abandoned and ruined, often serving as a refuge for locals during sudden dangers and war threats. In the early 20th century, it was uncovered by archaeological research and underwent comprehensive reconstruction in the 1980s. You will see preserved rock chambers, cisterns, defensive galleries, and signaling fire systems.
- Bohemian Switzerland National Park - - Elbe canyon, the largest sandstone canyon in Europe
- Kamenice river gorges
- Hrensko - Afterwards, we take a short walk to Hřensko, a small colorful town from where we will head back.
- Pravcicka brana - Sokoli hnizdo - The 2km hike navigates us to the Pravcicka Gate. Approaching it from below, you will see the majesty with which it stands at the top of the surrounding landscape. It is the symbol of the Bohemian Swizerland National Park and you will know why, once you see it.
- Mezná - After a demanding hike, you need to recharge your batteries, so the next stop will be a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant. A rich “a la carte” lunch will be a welcome and well-deserved reward. Traditional Czech and international dishes are served (including vegetarian options). We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with the locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome at this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place that will be waiting for you ready before our arrival. In addition, we have an advantage over other guests in the kitchen, so the wait for food is significantly shorter.
- Tisa - Then we will drive you into the Tisa Walls labyrinth, where Chronicles of Narnia was filmed. The rock city with lots of towers, small squares and mysterious corners will win you over with its captivating beauty. Anyone who ventures into the bowels of the rocks to enjoy the extraordinary charm of natural beauty will be rewarded with a nice experience. And as you know, no one can take the experience away from you.

Gladly again. - When our friends came to visit, we were looking for an interesting local experience for them. Although I know Saxon Switzerland, Milan showed us a whole new view of this region.
This also included excellent food and new interesting places.
His professional and friendly approach contributed significantly to a great experience. It was just great!

Hiking National Parks - This was an amazing trip and we would highly recommend it to others. Our guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. They walked us - literally - thru a wonderful day. The hiking was through beautiful and historical terrain and was exactly what we were hoping for. Suggestion: Give hikers a little less strenuous optional hike to the Arch - choose to go to the Arch or do something a little less steep. Otherwise, this was a perfect day!

Amazing tour - It was an amazing tour. A lot to see and a lot of walking. you need to have a good condition to take this tour. We visited 3 different highlights and they are beautifull in their one way. I mostly liked the Basteibridge; the view and the nature are spectatulair. We were with a small group (7 persons), 4 of them were from HongKong and we came from the Netherlands. We had a lot of fun during the day and learned not also from this tour but also from HongKong. Also our guide could tell a lot about the history of these highlights. Compliments for her but also for the driver of our small bus. If you are ever going to visit Prague you should also see those hightlights. it takes a day to see them all but you learn and see a lot.
