Your experience
Stop 1
Kick off your day with a pickup from your Dresden hotel at a pre-arranged time. Settle into an air-conditioned minivan with free Wi-Fi while your local English-speaking guide drives you toward the national parks.
Stop 2
Start your day at the breathtaking Bastei Bridge, the sandstone span set high above the Elbe valley and the most iconic viewpoint in Saxon Switzerland. Walk the bridge and the surrounding rock formations on foot at an easy pace, with sweeping panoramas over the river and the pinnacles.
Stop 3
Pass by the ruins of Neurathen Castle, a medieval rock fortress built straight into the sandstone beside the Bastei — once one of the largest cliff castles in the region.
Stop 4
Cross into Czechia for a scenic drive through Bohemian Switzerland National Park — a wilderness of deep gorges, pine forest and sandstone towers that, with the Saxon side, gave the whole region its "Switzerland" name.
Stop 5
(Summer tour only) Hike up to Pravcicka Gate, the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe — a massive stone span framing the forested valley below, and one of the most photographed natural wonders in the country. It also featured in The Chronicles of Narnia.
Stop 6
Recharge with a relaxed à la carte lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant in the village of Mezná — main course, drink, dessert and coffee included.
Stop 7
Finish in the Tisa Rock Labyrinth (Tiské stěny), a maze of towering sandstone walls, narrow passages and hidden viewpoints — best known internationally as a filming location for The Chronicles of Narnia, and for many travelers the most atmospheric stop of the day.
Stop 8
After a full day of exploring, sit back and relax on the comfortable drive back to Dresden, with drop-off at your hotel.
