The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is a great place to relax and recharge your batteries. There are more than enough tips for trips, you don't even have to just walk and ride a bike, in Děčín you can board a boat and enjoy a unique cruise on the Elbe. So where to go? The most famous destination is probably the Pravčická gate, the largest sandstone rock gate in Europe, then we recommend from Hřensko to the gorges of the river Kamenice and to Maria's viewpoint in Jetřichovice. If you stay for several days, you can visit the rock town of Tiské stěny in the Elbe sandstones, Děčín itself or visit neighboring Saxon Switzerland. There are no limits to trips.
