From Prague: Private Day Tour to Bohemian Switzerland NP｜Czechia

Begin your day with a pickup directly from your hotel in Prague. From there, enjoy a scenic 1.5-hour drive north through the picturesque Czech countryside before arriving in the charming village of Hrensko, the gateway to the breathtaking Bohemian Switzerland National Park.

Surrounded by dramatic sandstone cliffs and nestled at the confluence of the Kamenice and Elbe rivers, Hrensko is the perfect starting point for exploring one of the Czech Republic’s most spectacular natural landscapes.

Upon arriving in Hrensko, begin your adventure with one of the highlights of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, a peaceful boat ride through the enchanting Edmund Gorge. As your boat quietly glides between towering sandstone cliffs, admire the extraordinary rock formations and the tranquil beauty of this hidden natural wonder.

After the boat trip, enjoy a leisurely walk back along the picturesque Kamenice River. This scenic route takes approximately 25 minutes and offers countless opportunities to appreciate the unspoilt beauty of the surrounding forest and river valley.

After a short drive, arrive at the starting point of your first hike through the breathtaking Bohemian Switzerland National Park. Your destination is the magnificent Pravcicka Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and undoubtedly the park’s most iconic landmark.

The hike to the arch takes approximately 45 minutes each way along a well-maintained forest trail. Once you reach the top, take your time to admire the spectacular scenery, take unforgettable photographs, relax with a refreshment at the historic Falcon’s Nest lodge, and simply soak up the peaceful atmosphere of this extraordinary natural wonder before making your way back.

By this time, usually around 2:00 PM, you’ll have certainly earned a well-deserved lunch. Stop at one of the local restaurants, where you’ll have the opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy delicious Czech cuisine after the morning’s adventure.

Feeling refreshed, continue to the second and shorter hike of the day. This scenic walk leads to the fascinating ruins of Saunstejn Castle, a medieval rock fortress dramatically perched atop the sandstone cliffs. From its spectacular viewpoints, be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views across the forests, rock formations, and valleys of Bohemian Switzerland National Park.

At approximately 4:30 PM, begin your comfortable journey back to Prague, arriving at your hotel around 6:00 PM. Return not only with wonderful photographs, but also with lasting memories of one of the Czech Republic’s most extraordinary natural landscapes.
