Tour's Location

How is this tour different from the Winter Fairytale Tour?

This tour is designed for year-round enjoyment, unlike the Winter Fairytale Tour, which focuses on the unique winter landscapes of Bohemian Switzerland. The Iconic Rock Trail highlights Tisá Rocks, Pravčická Gate, and Bastei Bridge, offering a blend of iconic landmarks and moderate hiking trails suitable for all seasons.

How is this tour different from the Tisá Labyrinth and Bastei Bridge Tour?

While the Tisá Labyrinth and Bastei Bridge Tour is a shorter option focused on these two highlights, The Iconic Rock Trail adds the magnificent Pravčická Gate to the itinerary, making it a more comprehensive, full-day adventure. It’s perfect for travelers who want to see all the iconic landmarks in one journey.

How does the "Iconic Rock Trail" tour differ from the "Best Day Trip from Prague to Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland"?

The "Best Day Trip" is a summer hiking tour that includes a scenic boat ride through the Gorges of Kamenice, one of the region's highlights. However, due to the 2022 wildfire in Bohemian Switzerland, this trail has become more challenging and is now rated moderate. You can learn more about the wildfire's impact here.

In contrast, the "Iconic Rock Trail" is a year-round tour, making it accessible in every season. It replaces the boat ride with a visit to Tisá Rocks, offering an easier yet equally breathtaking alternative. This tour still features iconic landmarks like Pravčická Gate and Bastei Bridge, ensuring a memorable day for all guests. 

What does "moderate hiking tour" mean?

This tour involves 7-8 kilometers of hiking on varied terrain, including forest trails, stone steps, and uneven pathways. While it is manageable for individuals with average fitness, it may be challenging for those with no hiking experience or limited mobility. Comfortable hiking shoes and a moderate level of stamina are recommended.

Is this tour suitable for beginners?

If you’re a first-time hiker with average fitness, this tour can be a great introduction to hiking. However, it does require a basic level of physical fitness, and some sections involve uphill climbs and uneven trails. Guests with no hiking experience should be prepared for moderate exertion.

What should I bring for the tour?
  • Comfortable hiking shoes (essential for uneven terrain).
  • Weather-appropriate clothing (layers are best).
  • A small backpack for water, snacks, and personal items.
  • A camera to capture the stunning views.
Can children join this tour?

Yes, children are welcome, but parents should note that the hiking trails may be challenging for very young children. We recommend this tour for children aged 8 and above who are comfortable walking longer distances.

Is lunch included?

Yes! A delicious à la carte lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant is included. Options are available for vegetarians, vegans, and other dietary preferences. Please let us know in advance about any specific requirements.

Is transportation included?

Yes, round-trip transportation from your Prague accommodation is included. Our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles ensure a relaxing ride to and from the national parks.

How long is the tour?

The tour lasts approximately 11 hours, including transportation, hiking, lunch, and time to explore each location. You’ll be picked up around 7:30 AM and dropped off in Prague by approximately 6:30 PM.

How many participants are in a group?

We keep our group sizes small, with a maximum of 8 participants, to ensure a personalized experience and the ability to move comfortably through the trails.

What makes this tour special?

This tour uniquely combines the three most iconic landmarks of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland in one day: Tisá Rocks, Pravčická Gate, and Bastei Bridge. It’s a perfect choice for nature lovers and adventure seekers who want a full-day, immersive experience.

What if the weather is bad?

This tour operates in most weather conditions. In case of severe weather that makes hiking unsafe, we’ll adjust the itinerary or reschedule the tour to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
