- Pravcicka brana - Sokoli hnizdo - Embark on a hike through lush, forested hills to reach the Pravčice Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and a proud emblem of Bohemian Switzerland. This awe-inspiring rock formation is encircled by striking cliffs, verdant forest canopies, and ancient stone lookout points.
Right beneath the arch, visitors can pause at the historic Falcon’s Nest Lodge, a resting place for travelers for over a century. Depending on the weather, it’s an ideal spot to either cool down or warm up while enjoying the view with a refreshing drink.
Seasonal note: Pravčická Gate is closed from November to March due to winter conditions and shorter daylight hours. During this time, the tour proceeds at a slightly slower pace, allowing extra time at other scenic locations.
Moderate (forest trail, sustained uphill walk)
- Bastei Bridge - Stroll across Europe’s oldest tourist bridge, situated high above the Elbe River canyon, the deepest in Europe. Arriving early ensures a serene atmosphere and stunning views without the crowds. This short scenic loop beautifully blends nature and history.
Physical demand: Easy (well-maintained paths, gentle inclines)
- Hrensko - Traditional Czech Lunch
After a morning of exploration, enjoy a well-deserved lunch at a cozy local restaurant, where authentic Czech cuisine awaits. Delight in hearty traditional dishes, from slow-cooked meats and rich sauces with typical dumplings to seasonal specialties.
Please note that vegan and vegetarian options in traditional Czech cuisine are limited, but arrangements can be made with the kitchen to find a suitable meal.
Physical demand: Not applicable (seated break)
- Tisa - Conclude the day in the enchanting landscape of Tisá Rocks, a natural labyrinth of towering sandstone walls, narrow passages, and hidden corridors. This tranquil reserve is a true hidden gem, offering a cool retreat in the summer and a magical scene in the winter snow.
The scenery might be familiar from The Chronicles of Narnia, but walking among these sculpted giants is even more captivating in person. With its narrow paths and winding formations, the area feels like a natural playground for explorers of all ages.
Physical demand: Easy (Moderate with optional viewpoint)
