Overview

Looking for a way to experience the stunning natural beauty of Bohemian Switzerland without the need for intense hiking? Our easy walking tour is the perfect option for you! Designed to showcase the best of the national park while also accommodating those who prefer a more relaxed pace, this tour offers a truly memorable experience.

Starting with a comfortable pickup from your address in Prague, you’ll enjoy scenic views on the way to the national park in a new modern minivan equipped with free Wi-Fi.

Exploring Hrensko

Your tour will start with Hrensko village. You will be exploring, a mysterious world of crystal-clear water, high rock walls covered with moss and divine tranquillity.  This picturesque village of half-timbered houses is the gateway to Bohemian Switzerland and also a perfect place to shop for souvenirs. It is where the River Elbe leaves the Czech Republic after the last Czech tributary river, Kamanience, dissolves in Elbe.

Delicious lunch in the middle of Bohemian Switzerland

To put the cherry on the cake after a beautiful walk we will take you to our carefully selected local restaurant. We will treat you with VIP seating, great local Czech beer and delicious Ala carte lunch (main course and drink of your choice). The food here is absolutely delicious. All vegetarian and vegan friends out there, we got you covered too with some delicious veggie delights.

Boat ride in Bohemian Switzerland

The most romantic attraction in Bohemian Switzerland National Park is The Gorges of the Kamenice River. You can walk beneath rock ledges, through several tunnels, and across narrow bridges. So deep in the heart of Bohemian Switzerland, that some parts are only accessible on a small riverboat. The cruise between the narrow sandstone walls takes 30 min and is one of the most serene experiences and our favourite spot in the park. Filmmakers used it to create the magical world of Narnia in their movie.

This gorgeous walk will truly take you to your deeper connection with nature. This hiking trail starts a bit steep from the top and goes down to the valley of Kamenice River. The same trail is used these days (After the wildfire in Bohemian Switzerland) to come back to the regional point so will require walking uphill. Even though it’s not as easy as it used to be due to the uphill climb, the whole experience and nature that you get to enjoy is absolutely worth it.

We will drive you back to your hotel in Prague around 6 pm. Your camera will be full of beautiful photos, great memories, and one more Bohemia Adventure story to tell.

FAQs

What is the difference between this easy tour and your moderate tour called 2 Countries in One Day?

During this tour you can relax more and enjoy the national park without long hikes. The difference between the tours is that you can choose whether to go up to the Pravčická gate, which involves an hour's ascent and climb a few steep stairs, or on the contrary, you prefer to skip boating, which is easier to walk, as you still walk on a pleasant road around the river. Instead, you spend more time in the middle of the national park in picturesque village Hřensko, which is great for an easy walks with souvenir shopping. More details about what hiking trip is the best for you, read our blog: Best Hiking trips in Bohemian Switzerland: Which day trip to choose? hiking trip is the best for you.

When is the best time to take this tour and visit Bohemian Switzerland?

It would be difficult to say what is the best season to visit Bohemian Switzerland. Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Park offers you colorful autumns and stunningly white winters to bright springs and lively summers. We have tours for this beautiful national park everyday throughout the year. We personally love this National Park during the Month of October for all the colours of the nature. Autumn and falling leaves are absolutely beautiful and the hiking there becomes extra special and magical.

What should I wear for one day tour in Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland?

Just simply dress based on the weather forecast. Remember only, that it is often cooler and wetter up the Bohemian Switzerland hills so bring extra layer. We further recommend comfy shoes and pants suitable for outdoor activities and your camera. We will provide you with other necessary equipment if needed such as hiking poles, raincoats, etc.
