This small-group day trip from Prague lasts between 10 and 13 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off. The tour visits Bohemian Switzerland National Park in the Czech Republic and Saxon Switzerland National Park in Germany, crossing the border between the two countries. The group size is limited to seven participants and transport is provided in an air-conditioned VW T6 Comfortline minivan with free Wi-Fi. A licensed English-speaking guide leads the tour and all park fees and taxes are included. Raincoats and hiking sticks are available for rent if needed. The itinerary varies by tour option but includes several key stops. At the start, participants are picked up from their accommodation in Prague between 7:15 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. depending on the chosen option. The route passes through the village of Hrensko, the gateway to the national park. Lunch is served at a local Czech restaurant with an à la carte menu offering vegetarian, vegan, and meat dishes, accompanied by a drink and snacks. One option includes a 90-minute boat ride on a gondola-style boat through the Kamenice River gorges in Bohemian Switzerland. Another option offers a three-mile moderate hike lasting about three hours to Pravcicka Gate, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch, with cliffside viewpoints along the way. Each tour option includes a visit to the Bastei Bridge in Saxon Switzerland National Park, where visitors spend about an hour and a half walking among sandstone formations, enjoying panoramic views of the Elbe River canyon, and exploring the medieval ruins of Neurathen Castle. Some tours may also include a two-hour visit to Dresden’s Old Town exteriors with one hour of free time or, during the winter season, a 90-minute visit to the Tisá Rocks, a sandstone formation known for its role in the Chronicles of Narnia films. The tour returns to Prague between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., depending on the season and selected stops. The tour has received top reviews and is recognized as one of the best small-group tours available in the region.
