Full-Day Hiking Excursion around the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks from Prague

Discover the stunning natural landscapes of northern Czechnia and eastern Germany with an all-included experience led by an expert local on this amazing full-day hiking excursion around the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks from Prague! Right at the border between the Czech Republic and Germany, the Bohemian and Saxon National Parks have been a protected natural area since 1972. With incredible mountains, old castles, lush forests, beautiful rivers, impressive canyons, and more amazing features, this natural region is worth a visit for nature and history buffs.

On the day of your amazing hiking excursion around the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parks, you'll be picked up by your expert instructor from Northern Hikes at your accommodations in central Prague (check special terms). From there, you'll embark on an incredible, almost 2-hour scenic drive from the city and into Hřensko village, the starting point of the first leg of the hike. You'll gear up with hiking poles, a backpack, cold drinks, and snacks, and start the 90-minute excursion to the stunning Pravcicka Gate stone arch. This 16-meter-tall natural wonder will amaze you, and along the way, you'll learn about the region's fauna and flora, the history of the park and its place between the Czechs and Germans, and how these sandstone constructions form naturally.

Your hiking excursion in the Bohemian National Park will continue as you're driven to a Czech restaurant to regain your strength with a delicious local lunch. Once you're properly fed, you'll take a short ride to the second main spot of your experience, and descend the Gorges of the Kamenice River by a set of stairs set up for visitors. Once you reach the river, you will board a gondola-style boat and enjoy a fun, 20-minute boat ride among the sandstone cliffs, listening to the boatman tell you amusing stories. For the third and last leg of this wonderful experience, you'll drive over to the German side of the park (the Saxon Switzerland National Park) and take a short hike to the last highlight of the tour: the Bastei Bridge viewpoint. This stunning 305-meter-high construction sits among huge rock formations and looks like something out of a movie, with incredible views of the mountains and plains beyond. You'll then make your way back to Prague, with stunning pictures and happy memories of an amazing day!
