Hikers' TOP 3 Highlights

Ready for an all-encompassing adventure that captures the essence of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland in just one day? Our hiking tour is tailored for those seeking the ultimate outdoor experience, offering an itinerary that spans two countries: Czechia and Germany.

Your adventure starts comfortably with morning hotel pick-up and then we drive you to Hrensko, a charming Bohemian village serving as the starting point for your journey. Our timely departure ensures you'll be among the first to marvel at the iconic Pravcicka Gate, the biggest natural sandstone monument in the whole of Europe! The hike up to the Gate takes around 1.5 hours through an area recently burned by wildfires, serving as a strong reminder of Mother Nature's power. Then, up on the Gate, you'll enjoy unspoiled long-distance vistas unmatched by anything around. Maybe with a beer or lemonade in your hands? :-)

Mid-day, your taste buds are in for a treat at "U Forta," a renowned restaurant serving authentic Czech cuisine. Choose any main course (yes, any!) and beverage (beer included) from the local menu, which also includes vegetarian and vegan options. You'll experience VIP treatment afforded only to guests of Northern Hikes, skipping the lines and cutting down on wait time, at the best restaurant around!

Following the feast, a tranquil boat ride awaits you in the Wild Gorge of the Kamenice River. Drift peacefully through nature's hidden sanctuary and national park's most protected First Zone enveloped by striking rock formations and towering sandstone pillars. It's a romantic experience of peaceful reflection and natural beauty that will undoubtedly be a highlight of your trip.

Our final destination is Germany's Bastei Bridge—a sandstone marvel with sweeping vistas of the surrounding table mountains and the magnificent Elbe canyon, the deepest sandstone canyon in Europe. It's a sightseeing jewel and the most visited natural site in Germany.

Please note, this tour requires a good level of physical fitness and is best suited for those comfortable with a full day of active exploration. No special skills needed, no scrambling or climbing involved but some stamina is needed.

We grant you a unique day outdoors, long to remember. And an achievement. Ready to reserve your spot?
