Northern Hikes

A Prague company that has organised day hiking trips to Bohemian Switzerland and Saxon Switzerland since 2014, with local guides in English, groups of eight and pick-up in Prague.

Who they are

A Prague company that since 2014 has taken small groups walking in Bohemian Switzerland and, across the border, in Saxon Switzerland. They pick you up at your Prague accommodation by van, you walk with a local guide and you return in the afternoon. Lunch, at a restaurant in the area, is included.

How they work

Groups are of eight people at most and the guides speak English. There are trips for every level: an easy 5 km walk through the rocks of Tisá and the Bastei bridge, another with the boat on the Kamenice gorges and the Bastei, and the most complete, of 15 km and 13 hours, with the Pravčická brána, the boats and the Bastei. In winter they change the programme: snow routes, Christmas markets in Dresden and night walks with lanterns. They also run private trips.

What is included

Transport from Prague and back, guide and lunch. The entrance fees for the Pravčická brána and the boats depend on the trip: check on each trip's page. They cancel free up to 24 hours before.
