Experience the ultimate hiking adventure in Central Europe. This small-group day tour from Dresden takes you to the most iconic landmarks of both the Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland National Parks.
Your journey begins with a stress-free pickup directly from your Dresden hotel. Skip the confusion of public trains and relax in a premium, air-conditioned minivan. With a strict limit of just 8 guests per tour, you will enjoy a highly personalised experience, guided by a local expert who brings the history, nature, and Hollywood filming secrets of these landscapes to life.
First, beat the crowds at the world-renowned Bastei Bridge in Germany. Perched high above the Elbe River canyon, this stunning rock-integrated structure offers jaw-dropping panoramic views. Walk across the stone bridge and explore the ruins of Neurathen medieval rock castle before the big tour buses arrive.
Summer & Shoulder Season (April – October):
Cross the border into the Czech Republic for an exhilarating hike up to the spectacular Pravcicka Gate (Pravčická brána). As Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch, it is a true wonder of nature. Stand beneath its towering 16-meter-high span and absorb the endless views of pine forests and deep canyons.
After conquering the hike to the arch, enjoy a well-deserved, traditional à la carte lunch at a charming local restaurant. Indulge in hearty Czech cuisine, including vegetarian options, accompanied by a premium local beer or soft drink (all included in your tour price).
Your final stop takes you into a real-life fantasy world at the Tisa Rocks (Tisk é stěny). This mesmerising labyrinth of massive stone towers, hidden narrow corridors, and dramatic arches famously served as the filming location for Hollywood’s The Chronicles of Narnia.
Winter Season (November – March):
With shorter winter daylight, we skip the Pravcicka Gate hike to ensure a relaxed, unhurried experience at the two most spectacular and accessible sites. Spend extended quality time exploring the snow-dusted fairy-tale paths of the Bastei Bridge and the awe-inspiring Tisa Rocks labyrinth. A delicious, warm Czech à la carte lunch and drinks remain fully included to keep you fuelled and cosy.
After a full day of world-class scenery and photography, relax in the minivan as we drive you directly back to your hotel in Dresden.g.
