Highlights

Inclusions

Itinerary

1. Pravčická Gate (Bohemian Switzerland National Park): Stand directly beneath Europe's largest natural sandstone arch - the absolute crown jewel of the national park. The Recovering Birch Forest: Walk up a smooth, well-kept path. Following the 2022 forest fire, fast-growing silver birches created wide, open vistas that were previously hidden. Falcon's Nest Break: Grab a quick coffee or cold drink at the historic 19th-century Falcon’s Nest (Sokolí hnízdo) lodge right next to the arch. Panoramic Viewpoints: Take your time for high-elevation lookouts over the canyon (Note: secure railings provided, but keep in mind if you have severe vertigo). Downhill & Lunch: Easy walk down through the park, with an option to take the local public bus back to our vehicle before heading to a proper local Czech lunch. Please note: Opening hours vary by season, and the upper observation deck is closed during the winter months.

   2 hAdmission included

2. Fairytale Sandstone Labyrinth: Walk through a dramatic 1.5-hour loop of giant rock pillars, narrow stone squeezes, and natural arches in one of the region's most unique rock cities. Narnia Movie Magic: Explore the real-life filming location used for the magical winter entry in The Chronicles of Narnia. Panoramic Cliff Views: Climb short stone staircases to reach open rock towers with sweeping views across the Bohemian countryside. Terrain Details: Uneven natural paths with stone steps and narrow passages (requires basic balance; manageable for active walkers).

   1.5 hAdmission included

3. Iconic Sandstone Bridge (Germany): Cross the border into Germany to walk across the world-famous 19th-century stone bridge spanning dramatic sandstone towers high above the Elbe River. Sweeping Canyon Views: Enjoy panoramic, 360-degree lookouts over the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, Neurathen Castle ruins, and the surrounding national park. Easy & Accessible Stroll: Experience Germany's most famous rock formation on flat, paved paths and sturdy bridges with minimal physical exertion. Terrain & Entry Details: Paved walkways, flat terrain, and secured observation decks (ideal for guests wanting maximum views with minimal climbing).

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.

Top-ranked sights in Prague: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
