What to expect

The surreal and majestic landscape invites you to hike through wild canyons framed by dramatic sandstone stacks, experience boat rides through deep ravines shaded by the woods and discover Europe’s largest natural rock gate that is straight out of a fairytale. This amazing landscape inspired none other than Mr. fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen who admired this beauty not once but twice.

Day 2: We hike in Bohemian Switzerland national park that also includes multiple boat rides to explore the Kamenice Gorges and finishing up at the impressive Pravcika Gate (largest natural rock gate in Europe). where we end our adventure with a well deserved drink and bite to eat, before heading back home.
