    Your ending point would be same as your start point

  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

  • What to bring

    • Carry your passport or a valid ID, as the tour involves crossing the border between Germany and the Czech Republic.

    • Wear sturdy, comfortable hiking shoes, since the route includes rocky paths, wooded trails, and elevated lookout points with uneven ground.

    • Pack a compact umbrella or waterproof jacket, as the region is known for rapid and unpredictable weather changes.

    What's not allowed

    • Smoking is not allowed on forest routes or near protected rock areas due to strict fire safety measures.

    • Large suitcases or bulky luggage are not permitted on the tour vehicle, so only small daypacks are suitable.

    • Stay strictly on the marked trails, as the protected landscape contains delicate sandstone formations that can be easily damaged.

    • Do not use drones within the national park zones on either side of the border, as strict conservation rules forbid them.

    • Refrain from touching or marking the rock formations, as this causes damage to the natural environment.

    Accessibility

    • This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as the route includes steep climbs, narrow passages, and uneven natural surfaces.

    • The total hiking distance during the main season is about 12km and requires a moderate level of fitness to complete comfortably.

    Additional information

    • The summer route from April to October begins at Pravčická Brána and includes a boat ride in Edmund’s Gorge, while the winter route from November to March starts at Tisa Rocks Labyrinth without the boat ride.

    • Weather conditions can influence trail accessibility, so the itinerary may be adjusted for safety reasons during rain, snow, or strong winds.
