• Bastei Bridge - Stroll across Europe’s oldest tourist bridge, majestically situated above the Elbe River canyon, the deepest in Europe. Arriving early allows for a serene experience and stunning views without the crowds. This short scenic loop beautifully blends nature and history.
• Pravcicka brana - Sokoli hnizdo - Trek 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 dramatic cliffs, forest canopies, and ancient stone lookout points.

Right beneath the arch, 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 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 with additional time at other scenic locations.

Moderate (forest trail, sustained uphill walk)

• Hrensko - Traditional Czech Lunch

After a morning of exploration, enjoy a well-deserved lunch at a charming local restaurant, where authentic Czech cuisine awaits. Expect hearty traditional dishes, including slow-cooked meats, rich sauces with typical dumplings, and 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.

• Tiske steny - 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—quiet, cool in the summer, and almost magical in the winter snow.

The scenery might be familiar from The Chronicles of Narnia, but walking among these sculpted giants is even more impressive in person. With its narrow paths and winding formations, the area feels like a natural playground for explorers of all ages.
