From Dresden Tour: Full-Day Hiking Adventure in Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland
Start your day with a journey into one of Europe’s most captivating natural regions — the Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland National Park. Just a short drive from Dresden, this full-day hiking tour leads you through striking sandstone formations, forest trails, and river canyons that feel like they belong in a fantasy novel. Designed for active travelers seeking a scenic and rewarding outdoor experience, this tour offers nature, culture, and adventure all in one unforgettable day.
Tour Highlights
Bastei Bridge – Icon of Saxon Switzerland (Germany)
Your adventure begins in the German section of the park with a visit to the world-famous Bastei Bridge. Suspended among massive sandstone spires above the Elbe River, this 19th-century stone bridge offers unforgettable panoramic views of the canyon and surrounding mountains. It’s one of the most photographed landmarks in Germany — and a spectacular way to start the day.
Pravčická Arch – Europe’s Largest Natural Sandstone Arch (Czech Republic)
Continue into the Czech side of the park, where you’ll ascend forested trails to reach the majestic Pravčická Arch, the largest sandstone arch in Europe. Towering high above the landscape, it’s a true geological wonder. Multiple nearby viewpoints provide incredible perspectives of the arch and the dramatic terrain around it. The uphill sections require some effort, but the scenery is well worth every step.
Wild Gorge – Serene Boat Ride Through a Hidden Canyon
End your day with a tranquil change of pace in the Wild Gorge, a narrow canyon accessible only by small boats. Glide silently through moss-covered cliffs, under overhanging rock walls, and past waterfalls and crystal-clear water. The peaceful atmosphere and untouched nature of this spot make it a true hidden gem — a perfect ending to a day of adventure.
