The experience

You start the morning at your Dresden hotel or Airbnb, where the tour picks you up in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle. The drive into Saxon Switzerland takes you past landmarks the guide explains along the way, with snacks and bottled water served as you travel. The route crosses from Germany into the Czech side of the national parks, so a valid passport is required on the day you go.

The first stop is the Bastei Bridge, a 13th-century sandstone formation that rises high above the Elbe River Canyon. You walk across the bridge itself, an easy scenic walk, and then explore the medieval castle ruins of Felsenburg Neurathen at the far end. From there the tour moves into Bohemia to Sněžník Lookout Tower, a 19th-century structure where clear weather opens views across the entire national park and back toward Dresden. After the lookout, lunch arrives at a local restaurant with vegetarian options available and a drink of your choice included.

The final destination is Tyssa, the sandstone labyrinth where the Narnia films were shot. Unlike the crowded historical sites and monuments elsewhere in Europe, this place stays relatively quiet despite its movie fame. You walk through the fantasy landscape of the rock formations and reach the upper platform for views across the labyrinth before the tour returns you to Dresden.
