Witness two icons on Czech side - the Rosehill and the highest table mountain in Bohemian Switzerland, Snowhill.

Then walk across this magnificent Bridge perched high above the river Elbe. This awe-inspiring landmark holds the distinction of being the first tourist attraction in the region, constructed in 1851 to connect the rocky peaks with Neurathen Fortress. Prepare to be marveled by its architectural wonder!

Stop At: Neurathen Castle, Rathen, Bastei, Saxony Germany

Our adventure continues beyond the iconic Bastei Bridge to the magnificent Neurathen Fortress, a captivating sight nestled amidst the sandstone landscape. Prepare to be mesmerized by yet another stunning perspective of the Bastei Bridge, and the surrounding valley with forest theater.

Neurathen Fortress offers more than just panoramas. We'll delve into the medieval era, exploring the remnants of the stronghold that once housed vigilant guards. But that's not all! Brace yourselves for a fascinating journey back in time as we uncover archaeological treasures dating back 100 million years, when the region was submerged beneath a vast sea.

After a demanding hike, you need to recharge your batteries, so the next stop will be a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant.

We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with the locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome at this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place that will be waiting for you ready before our arrival. In addition, we have an advantage over other guests in the kitchen, so the wait for food is significantly shorter.

    Amazing views even with low visibility. I had a friendly driver, Milan, who picked me up from my accommodation in Dresden on time and had water available - he also dropped me back after the tour was over. The guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable sharing his passion of the area with us. Lunch was amazing with authentic Czech cuisine. Overall, very enjoyable and hassle free

    Although I booked this trip we were transferred to a similar trip without the Pravicka Gate as we were told it was closed. Neurathan Castle was also closed. We really enjoyed the Tisa Labyrinth. There was still snow in the gullies. This made it an extra special experience. The lunch was delicious. Lucy, our guide was very flexible. All in all it was a great day.

    Milan and Kamila picked us up at our hotel in Dresden right at 8am. They were friendly and gave us a bit of info about where we were going and how long tobgwr there. Milan dropped us off at the start of each hike (there were 3), and Kamila guided us through while explaining points of interest, letting us take photos and even taking photos for us. She used her phone to take candid shots of us and then sent them to our phones. Lunch was eaten at a nice little restaurant. The food was delicious and the portions were large. I couldn't finish mine even though I wanted to. It's a lot of walking as it is a hiking tour. At the end of the day we were sad it was over but happy that we didn't have to walk anymore. The views are absolutely worth it!
