You’ll cover about 4 miles at a relaxed pace, exploring otherworldly sandstone towers and pillars, winding through narrow passageways, and even uncovering hidden caves. While locals treasure the Tisa rocks, this natural wonder remains a secret to most tourists. So let us guide you through this hidden gem, away from the usual tourist paths.
From Narnia, you can climb Děčínský Sněžník for a wonderful view of the surroundings. It is the highest table mountain in the Czech Republic, on which stands a 33-meter-high stone lookout tower.
Next, you’ll head to the iconic Bastei Bridge in Germany. Prepare for jaw-dropping views from high above the Elbe River canyon. Stroll through the ruins of an ancient fortress, admire Europe’s most impressive sandstone canyon, and snap panoramic shots that are sure to impress your friends back home. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to catch a golden sunset.
After exploring the Bastei Bridge, you might want to extend your adventure with a few more incredible sites nearby.
Königstein Fortress is just 14 kilometers away. It’s one of the largest military fortresses and castles in Europe, perched atop the table mountain of Königstein amid the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Or, head 13 kilometers from Bastei to Schrammsteine, a rugged sandstone massif that offers striking views.
For a taste of medieval history, Hohnstein Castle is just 10 kilometers away, inviting you to step back in time with its captivating architecture and scenic surroundings.

That’s right—two parks in one day, brimming with winter magic. No need to worry about cold weather or special equipment.
This tour will take you along scenic paths, where rock formations and lush forests transform into a peaceful winter paradise. While snow is never guaranteed, the Pravcicka Gate—Europe’s largest sandstone arch—is always ready for your Instagram.
For more scenic wonders nearby, consider stopping by Belveder Viewpoint, just three kilometers from Hřensko. It’s the oldest and most beautifully maintained viewpoint in Bohemian Switzerland, offering stunning views of the Elbe Canyon. Built by Franz Karl Clary-Aldringen, it’s a testament to the noble family who first opened this region to tourists.
Alternatively, head to Janovský Vrch Lookout for expansive views stretching to Děčínský Sněžník, the iconic Pravčická Gate, and the surrounding villages. For those eager for a bit more adventure, Růžovský vrch—also known as the “Děčín Fudžijama”—is the highest peak in Bohemian Switzerland at 620 meters, offering breathtaking panoramas.
Other nearby highlights include the Jetřichovice Viewpoints (such as Mariina Skála and Rudolfův Kámen), the Dolský mlýn, a historic site dating back to 1515, and Klopotský Waterfall, a charming 4-meter waterfall that cascades into a natural basin and marks the symbolic border between Czechia and Germany.
After that you’ll head to the next highlight of the day—Germany’s iconic Bastei Bridge. Bastei Bridge is no ordinary bridge; it’s Germany’s most visited natural landmark.
While it often attracts crowds, winter offers a rare chance to explore it in peaceful solitude. Imagine standing on Europe’s first-ever tourist bridge, taking in the breathtaking views of sandstone mountains rising from the earth. And if the weather is just right, you might even capture a stunning winter sunset.
If you’re looking to explore a bit further, just 14 kilometers away lies Königstein Fortress, a sprawling historic stronghold with panoramic views. A short 13-kilometer trip takes you to Schrammsteine, known for its dramatic sandstone cliffs and scenic trails. Or, travel 10 kilometers to discover Hohnstein Castle, a charming medieval site nestled in picturesque landscapes.
So, if you’re in Prague and longing for snow, you’re likely to find it in the snow-capped mountains of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland. This tour strikes the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, making it an ideal winter escape during your stay in Prague.
