Bohemian Switzerland: hiking through a fairytale
Discover the magic of Bohemian Switzerland from Hřensko. Hike past sandstone cliffs and the impressive Pravčická brána – an unforgettable day trip full of nature and adventure.
Bohemian Switzerland – also known as the Saxon Switzerland mountains – is one of the most stunning natural areas in the Czech Republic. Just under an hour’s drive from the campsite, the charming border village of Hřensko is the perfect starting point for a day of hiking.
Park your car here and enter a landscape of towering sandstone cliffs, lush forests and deep gorges. The highlight is the Pravčická brána, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. The hike to the arch is moderately challenging and rewards you with breathtaking views and magical scenery.
Hřensko itself has a friendly, small-town feel with cafés and local shops. For a unique twist, part of the trail can be travelled by wooden boat through a narrow gorge – a fun and peaceful way to experience the park.
Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or just looking for a beautiful walk, this area won’t disappoint. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water and your camera, and get ready for a memorable day in nature.
