Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Pravcicka brana – Sokoli hnizdo, Hrensko 82, Hrensko 407 17 Czech Republic
The following jurney takes us over the border to the Bohemian (Czech) part of the National Park. The 2km hike navigates us to the Pravcicka Gate. Approaching it from below, you will see the majesty with which it stands at the top of the surrounding landscape. It is the symbol of the Bohemian Swizerland National Park and you will know why, once you see it.
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: 392 01 Mezná, Czechia
Within seeing distance from the Pravcicka Gate is our traditional Czech restaurant. A rich ‘a la carte’ lunch will be an appreciated reward. Both traditional Czech and international dishes are served (vegetarian options available).
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kamenice Gorge, 405 02 Hřensko, Czechia
Our final trip begins at the restaurant’s doorstep. A descending hike unravels the beauty of the Kamenice River Gorge. Its moderate rainforest climate is very refreshing. The river along which you stroll is wild at first, but as you approach the boat cruise section, it calms down completely. The mystical dinghy boat cruise is the last element of this impression-rich day tour.
The tour will end by dropping you off in Dresden at your accommodation or elsewhere in the city.
Duration: 2 hours
