Description:

We will travel to the planned location by local public transport such as bus or train. We will inform you about the exact time schedule. On request we can also arrange private transport by car (for an extra fee).

Hiking tour covering 4-5 km and providing the best overview of the Prachov Rocks. It takes around 3 hours to complete. Great choice for an active day and the Prachov Rocks are one of the favourite tourist areas in the Czech Republic which belong to the country’s oldest nature reserves.

This is an ancient place in the Bohemian paradise, which looks like a remarkable town made from rock with millions of years of old history Prachovske mountains, which is a romantic labyrinth of thin sandstone towers and pillars, plateaus, ravines, and chasms, with a large network of sign-posted tourist routes and numerous observation points from the rock formations. The short tour here passes through a narrow rock crevasse of only 35 cm in width, from where you climb to the two best-known viewing points and back along the Emperor’s Corridor through the mighty stone blocks.

An amazing place where time stands still, full of magnificent views, ravines, chines, lonely rock towers, and hundreds of other forms and shapes of rock you can imagine. We will discover beautiful places at the Prachov Rocks (Bohemian Paradise View Point, Peace View Point, Emperor’s Corridor, Leaning Tower). Near a tourist‘s chalet you can see a secret wood bathing pool called Pelíšek.

A number of rare species living here includes great owls, bats and several types of woodpeckers. Also the pines growing on the top of the rocks are awe deserving. The shapes of the landscape inspired many visitors in the past and the area became a cradle of the Czech rock-climbing.

Next stop is lunch, of course! We will treat you with a main course and a drink – included in your trip – at a traditional restaurant, with time to enjoy the best local beers and micro-brews.

This is a very personalized trip based on our own experiences we want to share. Our guests can expect a lot of individual attention with advice on clothing, weather, what to pack, as well as fitness levels prior to the trip. Also we will be ensuring your safety and welfare during the hike and the entire trip, as well as helping you with any translations needed when ordering lunch or buying gifts. Most importantly, however, we will be guiding you through this remarkable countryside and offering you the most unique experience.

We will meet in the morning at the Prague departure point and return back to Prague, filled with experiences, in the evening, just in time for dinner.

Join us for an adventure of a lifetime!
