This small-group day trip from Prague lasts about 10 to 12 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in an air-conditioned minivan with free Wi-Fi. The group is limited to eight people and is led by a local English-speaking guide. The trip begins with a two-hour drive north from Prague to Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The guide provides information about the park and the planned route during the drive. The first stop is the village of Hřensko, located within the park. From there, travelers walk approximately 5 kilometers over uneven terrain with some elevation gain to reach Pravčická brána, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. The guide points out that this arch was used as a filming location for the Narnia movies. After the walk, lunch is served at a local restaurant in the park, offering an a la carte menu with nine main course options, including vegetarian and vegan dishes, along with drinks such as local Czech beer. Following lunch, the tour continues with a walk and a gondola-style boat ride through the Kamenice River Canyon. The boat passes under rock ledges, through tunnels, and across footbridges, moving between narrow sandstone walls. The trip then crosses into Germany’s Saxon Switzerland National Park to visit the Bastei Bridge and the ruins of Neurathen rock castle. The Bastei area provides views over the Elbe canyon, Europe’s deepest sandstone canyon. The group spends about one hour at this site. Snacks, tea, and coffee are included throughout the day. Hiking equipment such as poles and raincoats are provided free of charge. Extra transport within the park reduces walking distances by about 6 kilometers, allowing more time at key sites. The tour returns to Prague, arriving around 7 p.m.
