    Our adventure continues beyond the iconic Bastei Bridge to the magnificent Neurathen Fortress, a captivating sight nestled amidst the sandstone landscape. Prepare to be mesmerized by yet another stunning perspective of the Bastei Bridge, and the surrounding valley with forest theater. Neurathen Fortress offers more than just panoramas. We'll delve into the medieval era, exploring the remnants of the stronghold that once housed vigilant guards. But that's not all! Brace yourselves for a fascinating journey back in time as we uncover archaeological treasures dating back 100 million years, when the region was submerged beneath a vast sea.

  • Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Pass by)

    After exploring Bastei Bridge and Neurathen Fortress, we'll embark on a scenic drive through the Elbe River Canyon to the Czech side of the National Park - Bohemian Switzerland. Our route will wind its way through charming villages like Bad Schandau and Hřensko, allowing you to soak up the beauty of the region's architecture. We'll also keep an eye out for the historical elevator to the observation tower, a Guinness World Record holder for being the oldest elevator of its kind.

    Mezná

    Now you need to recharge your batteries, so the next stop will be a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant. A rich "a la carte" lunch will be a welcome and well-deserved reward. Traditional Czech and international dishes are served (including vegetarian options). We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with the locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome at this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place that will be waiting for you ready before our arrival. In addition, we have an advantage over other guests in the kitchen, so the wait for food is significantly shorter.
