The experience
The day starts with pickup at your Prague hotel, then a two-hour drive north in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan or bus. Your choice of vehicle depends on group size. During the drive, your guide shares details about the National Park and the region. You arrive at Pravcicka Gate, a 21-meter sandstone arch that filmmakers used as the backdrop for Narnia. The walk to it winds through preserved forest, and the gate itself is the most photographed natural landmark in Bohemian Switzerland.
Lunch follows at a local Czech restaurant with a main course and drink included. Then comes the gorge section: you walk beneath rock ledges, through several tunnels carved into the stone, and across narrow footbridges above the Kamenice River. Some passages are only accessible by small boat, so you board one and drift between the narrow sandstone walls: a quiet, enclosed stretch that most visitors say is the most memorable part of the day. The walking here is easy but involves uneven ground and low-ceiling passages.
The final stop is Bastei, the Saxon rock formation across the border in Germany. You cross the famous sandstone bridge that connects the main formation and explore the ruins of Neurathen rock castle. Multiple viewpoints overlook the Elbe canyon. Your driver returns you to your Prague hotel by evening with the camera full and the day accounted for.
