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 (Tiské 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.
