Here, the scenic 1.5 hr hike to the Pravcicka Gate awaits. As the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe, it promises not just awe-inspiring views, but also a firsthand look at nature’s raw power, marked by the traces of recent wildfires.

As lunchtime rolls around, get ready to indulge at the renowned local restaurant "U Forta", where you can pick any dish from a menu full of authentic Czech flavours, even the beer is on us!

After a tasty lunch, we'll take a gentle boat ride down the serene Kamenice River. Glide through the Wild Gorge, surrounded by towering rock formations and lush greenery, a truly magical part of the national park that feels like stepping into another world.

Our final stop is the iconic Bastei Bridge in Germany. Prepare to be captivated by its stunning vistas overlooking the deepest sandstone canyon in Europe.

This is more than just a view, it’s a panoramic experience that promises to be the highlight of your day.

The Bohemian Switzerland National Park, situated at a low altitude (300-400 meters above sea level), shares a similar climate with Prague but tends to be 2-3°C cooler.
