Within walking distance of the Pravčická gate is our traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant. A rich "a la carte" lunch will be a welcome and a well deserved reward after a hike to the arc. Traditional Czech and international dishes are served (vegetarian options). We strongly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome in this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place, which will be waiting for you set before our arrival. In the kitchen we also have an advantage over other guests, so waiting for food is significantly shorter. From here, a simple descent down the old sandstones awaits us, towards the beautiful Edmund's gorge. Our experienced guide will be with you at all times and will be happy to take care of you and answer every question about the national park and the local nature.

Our last trip starts right from the door of the restaurant. The descending hike will reveal the beauty of the Kamenice river gorge, the air is very refreshing. The river you walk along is wild at first, but as you approach part of the cruise, it calms down completely. Our guide will tell you all about the river and the local nature. Mystical sailing on a small boat is the last element of our rich day trip. The Kamenice River is the most beautiful and cleanest river in the Czech Republic. During the cruise we can see water birds and many species of fish, even salmon.
At the end of the journey we will reach the picturesque village of Hřensko, where a prepared and rested driver will be waiting for us, who will take you back to Dresden, to the place of your accommodation or to your place of choice. Our guide will be happy to recommend a good restaurant, a quiet park or a view of the sunset. At the end of the trip you will also receive a small gift from us, which will say goodbye to you.

The entrance to the beautiful town of Hřensko is the lowest point of the Czech Republic, which is often flooded by the river Elbe and the river Kamenice. The guide will briefly describe the town and its history, especially from the Second World War.

The next path will take us across the state border back to the Czech (Bohemia) part of the national park. Our driver will take you as close as possible to the rock monument, then our guide will go with you. This will significantly shorten the time and avoid the uninteresting journey on the asphalt road. After that, we only have a two-kilometer hike to the Pravčická Gate - the largest rock arch in Europe. As you approach it from below, you will see the majesty with which it stands at the top of the surrounding landscape. It is a symbol of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park and when you see it, you will know why. Here we will have a local beer in the beautiful and historic restaurant "Falcons nest" and walk through the most beautiful views of the national park and rock monuments. The guide will tell you all about the local flora and fauna. At the end, a driver will be waiting for us again, who will take us towards the local announced restaurant, where we will have lunch.

Return home when we offer drop off anywhere in the city center according to the needs of guests. Our driver is always fully rested - during the journey when our guests with a guide are on the hike, the driver is resting or sleeping. So you can rest back in peace and safety on the way or take a nap during the trip back to Prague.
