★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 883 reviews · 10 - 12 hours · from $151

Small-group day trip from Prague to Bastei, Pravčická Brána, and Tisa Rocks, with Czech lunch, snacks, Wi-Fi, and winter-ready hiking.

“Josef and Monika were so awesome. The van is fantastic, the snacks and water is so appreciated, and it’s so nice being able to ‘sit back’ and not worry about (or pay for) a single thing throughout the trip. Lunch was beautiful!! Though you only get the two highlights in Winter, it is still a good pace and doesn’t feel dragged out (though note it’s a lot shorter than the 12hrs, due to sunlight hrs). The hikes were super manageable, but do note there are natural, steep, uneven steps throughout and they can be slippery in winter (though it was fine for us!). Fantastic tour, would absolutely recommend to anyone!!”

Hike between Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland from Prague, with Bastei Bridge, Pravčická Brána, lunch, and seasonal gorge boat time.

“The hikes are stunning, all the natural beauty and the Saxon Switzerland nat park is awe inspiring!!! Our guide told us some good info but his communication on the logistics of things were unclear at times. Also a bit condescending about the hikes and throwing out alot of stereotypical things about people from the US felt kind of off.”

“Really glad that I found this tour to the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Parka while looking for a day trekking trip from Prague. Made the right choice selecting Northern Hikes among other providers. Keeping the group small was excellent for the programme. Guide Petr was fantastic keeping the group engaged with his explanation and stories. Views from this hike are amazing and definitely recommended for anyone looking for a little adventure from Prague and would recommend looking up Northern Hikes. Thank you for a day well spent 😊”

“Joseph was a phenomenal tour guide and this was an incredible experience. Joseph and team picked us up from our airbnb in Prague, we rode north into Germany about 1 hour and 40 minutes (bring passports) and had a 1.5 hour experience enjoying the cliff views from shockingly high heights. We drove to a great lunch sport for a traditional Czech lunch then onto a 2 mile hike through the forrest. Joseph was energetic, informative and fun. All ages in our group loved the experience.”

“This tour was fabulous. Our tour guide Marek was fabulous, informative and paid attention to our needs. Due to maintenance works on the trail to Pravcicka Gate, they offered an alternative tour to Schrammsteine and Bastei which were just as good. Lots of walking, lots of climbing up rocky trails and ladders, and the views were spectacular. Marek was supportive and positively patient when i needed a bit of extra time to climb the steeper areas, and ensured i had time to rest when i could. I was so pleased that i was able to see these views, i had worked very hard for a year to prepare myself and…”
