THE HIKING TOUR: Perfect for those who love to explore on foot, this tour combines three of the park's most iconic natural wonders. The first stop on your journey will be the magnificent Bastei Bridge on the Saxon (German) side of the national park. You will have the opportunity to walk across this famous bridge, perched high above the Elbe River, and enjoy stunning, breathtaking views. Next, we'll hike to the Pravčická Arch, Europe's largest natural sandstone arch. While the trail can be challenging, the reward is an unparalleled view that will take your breath away.

Afterward, we'll cross into the Czech Republic to stroll through the Tisa Walls, a magical place that served as a key filming location for The Chronicles of Narnia. You'll admire a unique 'rock city' landscape of towering sandstone pillars, feeling as though you've stepped right into the movie itself.
