Good to know
Greetings from Bohemian Switzerland national park, and the Bohemia Adventures team. Thank you for your reservation.
Our professional guide will meet you between 7:30 to 8:00 a.m. in front of your accommodation at your Prague address. The return time is usually between 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. but it may vary depending on the pace of the group, etc.
One day before the tour we will email you an exact pickup time along with the weather forecast. You should be back between 6 -7 p.m. Please, do not forget to take your passport (ID) with you as the trip to Germany is part of the tour. As you have booked a hiking option, we recommend wearing hiking boots or sports shoes suitable for uneven surfaces.
An à la carte lunch and a snack pack with water are already included in your tour. If you have any dietary preferences such as vegetarian, or vegan meals, please let us know. You need no special equipment for the tour, only clothes comfortable for movement outdoors and a daypack may come in handy. We provide free walking poles, raincoats, etc for you to borrow.
If you chose the EASY OPTION, instead of the hike to the Pravcicka Gate, you will have extra time for self-guided exploration of the picturesque village of Hrensko (the center of the national park). It is necessary to remember that steep stairs are located at several parts of the trail on the way to reach the boat ride and the same on the way back.
Therefore we do not recommend taking this tour in case you are healing from any injuries with your ankle, leg, knee, etc. Please let us know if you have any concerns regarding this. Our guide can advise you during the drive to the national park to decide whether the Boat ride or the Pravcicka gate hike (longer in distance but not so steep) is better for you.
Besides the aforementioned stairs, the rest of the tour around Bastei Bridge goes along rather flat and very well-maintained trails, and they're easy to walk on.
Enjoy your tour! With regards, Bohemia Adventures Team
