Leave the city behind and step into a landscape of soaring stone bridges, forest trails, and hidden rock passages. With a local guide leading the way, discover the places that make Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland an extraordinary escape from Dresden.
Your adventure starts at your Dresden hotel. Settle into a modern, air-conditioned van with Wi-Fi and let us handle the details. Round-trip transportation, admission fees, a Czech à la carte lunch, and refreshments are included—so you can focus on the views and enjoy the day.
Bastei Bridge: High above the Elbe
Walk across the iconic Bastei Bridge, where stone arches connect soaring sandstone formations above the Elbe Valley. Explore the ruins of Neurathen rock castle and take in sweeping views of the river winding far below. Your guide brings the landscape to life with local stories along the way.
Pravčická Gate: A natural wonder
From April through October, cross into the Czech Republic and hike through the forest to Pravčická Gate, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. The climb rewards you with a spectacular sight: a monumental rock arch rising above forests and sandstone cliffs. Enjoy the viewpoints and capture a highlight of your European adventure.
A taste of the Czech Republic
Relax over a well-earned lunch at a local restaurant. Choose a Czech à la carte main course, with vegetarian options available, and enjoy an included Czech beer or soft drink. Share the day’s discoveries before setting off for another remarkable landscape.
Tisa Rocks: Step into Narnia
Enter a world of towering rocks, narrow passages, and hidden corners at Tisa Rocks, a filming location for The Chronicles of Narnia. Follow your guide through the sandstone maze, discovering striking formations and unforgettable photo opportunities around every turn.
A relaxed winter adventure
From November through March, explore Bastei Bridge and Tisa Rocks at a relaxed pace, with around 4 km (2.5 miles) of walking and a warm Czech lunch. The winter itinerary leaves out Pravčická Gate, allowing more time at both locations.
Comfort along the way
Bottled water and energy bars are available in the van. Borrow an umbrella, rain poncho, or hiking poles as needed, with traction grips available in winter. After a day of discovery, sit back and enjoy the ride to your Dresden hotel.
