Can't believe how EPIC the views were! Went with my partner, and honestly we just gawked at the rocks and scenery for like half the day. Our guide (think her name was Petra?) made us laugh so much and knew all the secret spots for pics. Lunch was filling, nothing fancy, but hey, it hit the spot after the hike. Pro tip: wear layers, it got COLD even though it didn’t look it. Def coming back if we’re in Prague again.

Honestly, the best day out of our Prague trip. Our group was small (like 7 people), and we all bonded over the mud, the rain, and the crazy good views. The guide even brought extra ponchos for everyone when it started pouring. If you get cold easily, bring gloves! Also, the boat ride in the gorge—do NOT skip it, it’s included and super coool.

Did the tour with my parents (both over 60) and they kept up better than me! The guide, Tomas, was so patient and made sure everyone was included, even gave my dad a walking stick. The mist in the forest made everything look magical. Lunch was hearty—get the goulash if you can. Wish I wore better shoes, lol.

Set out from Prague for a full day of hiking, viewpoints, and river landscapes as you explore both Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland with direct hotel pick-up.

Walk across Bastei Bridge with your guide, stopping at canyon overlooks and sandstone formations shaped by centuries of wind and water.

Continue into Czechia on a scenic drive along the Elbe River before beginning a 3.5-hour guided hike, either to Pravčická Brána or through the Tisa Rocks Labyrinth in winter.

Travel in a small group of just seven guests for a more personal, flexible experience with direct access to your guide throughout the day.

Enjoy a traditional Czech lunch at a local restaurant before continuing your adventure, with a seasonal boat cruise available in Edmund’s Gorge between April and October.

Sooo many steps, my legs still ache lol, but the sandstone bridge is wild to see in person. Bit crowded at the main viewpoints and felt a little rushed here and there. Boat ride was chill, but I wish it lasted longer. Our group had a blast, though. If you like a workout with your sightseeing, it’s for u.

Not exactly what I expected. The scenery is BEAUTIFUL, but the hike is loooonger and steeper than they said. My wife struggled a bit. Lunch was decent but took forever to get served. Guide was nice but kinda hard to hear sometimes. Would recommend for fit folks, maybe not for everyone.

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.
