  • Well, other companies offer the same so what is the difference? Now the best part is coming! The total hiking distance for this awesome tour is only 10 km or 6 miles in a forest on partially rugged terrain. That includes a 1,5-hour-long walk (walking with no special gear required) to reach the Pravcicka Gate monument. Overcoming some stone stairs during the tour is necessary to reach the highlights.

We do not recommend taking this tour in case you are ongoing a healing time with your ankle, leg, knee, etc. if you feel that this could be too difficult for you. But even families with smaller kids and active elderly people enjoy our epic day trip from Prague to discover the best what our park can offer.
