About This Tour
An 8-day, Prague-based hiking adventure through the sandstone canyons and forests of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, with a day trip across the border to Saxon Switzerland and a visit to Český Krumlov. This route is based in Czechia throughout — Prague at the start and end, with excursions into Bohemian Switzerland National Park and Český Krumlov. Day 3 crosses briefly into Germany's Saxon Switzerland region (the Bastei Bridge, Felsenburg Neurathen ruins and the Tyssa sandstone formations, just over the border) before the day's hiking and sightseeing continue back on the Czech side. The source itinerary doesn't spell out a hotel change for every single night, but Prague bookends the trip at both ends. Adapted from a self-drive rental-car itinerary — Voyzo runs this route with your own private driver and vehicle instead.
