Our journey began with a passion for hiking and nature, and we’ve grown into a family-like local company committed to providing the best-rated day trips and tours in the region. We pride ourselves on offering an authentic, local experience, and our mission is to make your adventure unforgettable.
Imagine visiting a place where one of your friends has lived for a long time. You'd ask them to show you the best spots and hidden gems, experiencing everything like a local rather than a tourist, right? Yeah, we thought so too! (We knew we liked you already!)
That's exactly what Northern Hikes is all about. Founded by Vitek in 2014, Northern Hikes was born out of a love for the Bohemian Switzerland region and a desire to share its beauty with others. Vitek quit his corporate job to start a travel agency that offers tours with a sense of purpose and passion.
We are experienced hikers who grew up in the Bohemian Switzerland region. Our deep-rooted connection to the area ensures you’ll see the best and most authentic sights.
While we are based in Czechia, our team has lived in various countries. This experience allows us to communicate effectively with travelers from around the world and offer a unique cultural exchange.
We love sharing our culture and history. Whether you’re interested in learning about our traditions or historical events, we’re happy to share our knowledge.
Your safety is our priority. Our guides are trained in first aid and CPR, and we are excellent and careful drivers, having been professionally trained at the Polygon training center in Hradec Králové.
We are not fans of massive tourism. We operate in small groups to ensure a more sustainable and environmentally friendly experience. By supporting local businesses like the restaurant U Forta and Bohemian Coffee House, we make sure that money spent on our tours stays in the region.
We collaborate with local photographers, such as Maxime_North and kubajszcom, and support the town council in Krásná Lípa. Part of our earnings contributes to the “Destination Fund Bohemian Switzerland.”
