Bohemian Saxon Switzerland Tour
Description
Discover the natural wonders that are housed on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic with this trip to the beautiful National Park of Bohemian Saxon Switzerland.
Tour Details
In the morning, we'll collect you from your hotel in Dresden to start our tour to the Bohemian Saxon Switzerland National Park. After a journey of one hour, we'll arrive at our first stop: Bastei Bridge, from where you'll enjoy some spectacular panoramic views of the canyon of the river Elbe.
From there we head to the Pravcicka Archway in the Czech part of the Bohemian Saxon Switzerland National Park. Here, you'll see a majestic natural rock formation up close, allowing you to appreciate its grand scale and beauty. This archway is the biggest stone archway in all of continental Europe.
Next, we'll visit a local restaurant to enjoy the traditional Czech cuisine from an à la carte menu, which also includes a beer, wine, or a soft drink.
With our energy restored, we’ll make our way to Kamnitz Gorge. You'll take part in a wonderful boat ride through this beautiful area, giving you the chance to discover every part of this magical location.
Finally, we’ll return you to your hotel in Dresden where we'll conclude the tour.
