Duration
11 h
Season
April to October; in winter, its own programme with snow and markets
Who it's for
Adults and teenagers; there is a gentle 5 km version for families

If you do not want to combine trains, buses and ferries, Northern Hikes picks you up at your accommodation in Prague, drives you by minibus and walks with you. The most complete trip, of 13 hours and 15 km, climbs to the Pravčická brána, goes down the Kamenice gorges by boat and crosses into Germany to see the Bastei bridge; there is a gentler one with the boats and the Bastei, and a third, the easiest, through the rocks of Tisá. Groups are of eight people, lunch is included and the guide speaks English.
