2. Start at the Bastei Bridge, the most famous sight in Saxon Switzerland — a 19th-century stone footbridge strung between giant sandstone pinnacles, almost 200 metres above the Elbe river. Walk across it and along the cliff paths for what many call the finest views in Germany.

   1.5 h

3. Pass by the ruins of Neurathen Castle, a medieval fortress carved straight into the rock beside the Bastei — once one of the largest cliff castles in the region.

4. Cross back to Czechia for a scenic drive through Bohemian Switzerland National Park — a wilderness of deep gorges, pine forest and sandstone towers that, with the Saxon side, gave the whole region its "Switzerland" name.

5. (Summer tour only) Hike up to Pravcicka Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe — a massive stone span framing the forested valley below, and one of the most photographed natural wonders in the country. It also featured in The Chronicles of Narnia.

   2 hAdmission included

6. Recharge with a relaxed à la carte lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant in the village of Mezná — main course, drink, dessert and coffee included.

   1 h

7. Finish in the Tisa Rock Labyrinth (Tiské stěny), a maze of towering sandstone walls, narrow passages and hidden viewpoints — best known internationally as a filming location for The Chronicles of Narnia, and for many travelers the most atmospheric stop of the day.

   1.5 hAdmission included

8. After a full day of exploring, sit back and relax on the comfortable drive back to Prague, with drop-off at your hotel.

About Prague

Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.

Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
