When most people hear the name of this national park, one image springs to mind immediately: the <strong>iconic Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na (Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Gate)<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a place with a truly unique atmosphere, well worth visiting at least once in a lifetime. We fell head over heels for the landscape here, and I&#8217;m convinced this sandstone realm will sweep you off your feet just the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have to be honest with you right from the start, though: the park was hit by <strong>two wildfires<\/strong> \u2014 a major one near H\u0159ensko in 2022 and a smaller one near Jet\u0159ichovice in the spring of 2026. That might sound a little alarming, but rest assured, most of the most beautiful spots are safely accessible and nature is recovering fast. Our photos of Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na in this guide were taken when the forest was still green, before the fire, so you can see its beauty in full force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the lines that follow I&#8217;ll show you <strong>what to see in Bohemian Switzerland<\/strong>, how best to get here, and where to base yourself strategically. You&#8217;ll also learn which places to avoid at the height of summer and how to plan a weekend that lets you soak up as much peace among the rocks as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

Every season has its own particular charm, but if I&#8217;m going to recommend something straight from the heart, come here in spring or autumn. In autumn the deep forests turn unbelievable shades of gold and red, and the morning mists rolling through the valleys create an utterly magical atmosphere you&#8217;ll fall in love with. Spring, meanwhile, is perfect for anyone who wants to see nature waking up and enjoy plenty of water in the streams and gorges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the summer months, bear in mind this is peak tourist season. If you come during the holidays, set your alarm as early as you can and reach the main attractions first thing, otherwise you&#8217;ll spend ages hunting for a parking space and squeezing through the crowds. One very important thing is the so-called fire warning system. The national park authority puts it in place during periods of severe drought, when there&#8217;s a heightened risk of forest fires. In such cases there&#8217;s often a night-time ban on entering the forest and a strict ban on leaving the marked trails. So always check the current situation on the official website before you set off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So how many days should you set aside? For a quick taste of the biggest highlights, one really packed day will do. You can do the classic loop from H\u0159ensko up to Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na, cross over to Mezn\u00ed Louka and return via the Wild Gorge. But if you want to really get to know the park, enjoy the quieter eastern section around Jet\u0159ichovice and pop over to neighbouring Germany too, set aside a long weekend or even three full days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_get_to_Bohemian_Switzerland_from_Prague\"><\/span>How to get to Bohemian Switzerland from Prague<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting to the national park is fairly straightforward, and you have several options depending on whether you prefer the comfort of your own car or like to travel by public transport. The central hub for most trips is the picturesque little town of H\u0159ensko, which sits right on the border with Saxony and forms the gateway to the whole region. Most international visitors fly into Prague first \u2014 there are direct flights from London, Manchester and several other UK airports \u2014 and then continue north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re driving from Prague, you&#8217;re looking at a journey of roughly 135 kilometres. You&#8217;ll cover most of the route comfortably on the D8 motorway towards \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem and D\u011b\u010d\u00edn. (A Czech motorway vignette is required \u2014 you can buy the e-vignette online before you set off.) From D\u011b\u010d\u00edn you continue along the beautiful valley of the River Elbe right into H\u0159ensko, which takes about an hour and a half of smooth driving in total. You can then leave the car at one of the park-and-ride car parks, though in season you really need to be an early bird, as the spaces fill up at an incredible rate and by around ten in the morning they&#8217;re often full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travellers without a car can get here perfectly easily and comfortably. Regular, fast trains run from Prague to D\u011b\u010d\u00edn \u2014 the journey takes about an hour and a half and the trains are usually clean and spacious. Right in front of D\u011b\u010d\u00edn railway station you then hop on the main tourist bus, number 434. It takes you not only to H\u0159ensko but continues on via Mezn\u00ed Louka all the way to Jet\u0159ichovice. In the main summer season you can also spice up the journey with a romantic boat ride along the Elbe from D\u011b\u010d\u00edn to H\u0159ensko. Another interesting option is the border ferry connecting H\u0159ensko with the Saxon village of Sch\u00f6na on the opposite bank, which gives you easy access to the German rail network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LK_CARRENTAL_PLACEHOLDER -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Entry_to_the_Bohemian_Switzerland_National_Park_the_fires_and_the_current_situation\"><\/span>Entry to the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, the fires and the current situation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news for your wallet: entry to the Bohemian Switzerland National Park itself is completely free. Only specific attractions charge admission, such as the Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na complex, the boat trips through the gorges of the River Kamenice, and the rock maze at Tis\u00e1. The rest of the beautiful scenery, the viewpoints and the forest paths you can admire without paying a penny, free to roam as you please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important to be honest about the fact that the park has been through a really tough ordeal in recent years. In July 2022 it was hit by the largest forest fire in the modern history of the Czech Republic, which burned through more than a thousand hectares of forest near H\u0159ensko. As if that weren&#8217;t enough, in May 2026 another, much smaller fire broke out in the eastern part near Jet\u0159ichovice and Rynartice. These events naturally transformed the landscape, but nature has an incredible ability to regenerate. Already, new trees are turning green among the charred trunks, ferns are growing and the forest is filling with life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today only the specific burnt area and places where dry trees risk falling remain closed. Most popular trails and attractions operate completely without restrictions. The biggest loss for visitors is the long-term closure of the famous Gabriela Trail, which used to link Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na with Mezn\u00ed Louka. You now reach the arch via the alternative Ml\u00fdnsk\u00e1 route or the classic trail from H\u0159ensko. Before every trip I recommend checking the national park&#8217;s official website, where you&#8217;ll always find up-to-date information on any closures and the status of the fire warning system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_Bohemian_Switzerland\"><\/span>Where to stay in Bohemian Switzerland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right accommodation can make a nature trip immeasurably more pleasant and save you loads of time on your morning journeys to the sights. In the area you&#8217;ll find everything from more upmarket hotels with wellness facilities to cosy family guesthouses with a homely atmosphere. It mainly comes down to whether you want to stay right in the thick of the action or prefer the quieter edges of the national park, away from the main bustle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most practical choice for exploring the best-known spots is undoubtedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=ceske-svycarsko&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Mezn%C3%AD%20Louka&#038;address=Mezn%C3%AD%20Louka%2C%20H%C5%99ensko%2C%20%C4%8Cesko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Mezn\u00ed Louka<\/a>. It sits in an absolutely strategic location, just a few steps from the trail to Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na and to the gorges. As well as a great position, it offers its own restaurant, a sauna for unwinding in the evening after demanding hikes, and \u2014 crucially \u2014 the huge advantage of on-site parking, which is worth its weight in gold in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a soft spot for a bit of history and would love to relax in a wellness centre after a day on your feet, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=ceske-svycarsko&#038;hotelname=Hotel%20Praha%20H%C5%99ensko&#038;address=H%C5%99ensko%2C%20%C4%8Cesko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Praha<\/a>.

With a span of over twenty-six metres, Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na is the largest sandstone rock arch in all of Europe. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I visited the arch in person, dog in tow, and the sight of that majestic arch towering high above the forests completely blew us away \u2014 it&#8217;s a genuinely unforgettable experience. Tucked just below the arch is the picturesque little Falcon&#8217;s Nest (Sokol\u00ed Hn\u00edzdo) chateau with its wooden balconies, lending the whole place an unbelievably fairy-tale feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admission to the complex costs an adult around 5 \u20ac, and it gets you onto several stunning viewpoints in the immediate surroundings, where you can photograph the arch from the very best angles. You haven&#8217;t been able to walk onto the rock arch itself since 1982 for safety reasons \u2014 the sandstone is very fragile and the crowds of tourists were slowly wearing it away. As I mentioned earlier, the popular Gabriela Trail to the arch has been closed since the big fire, so right now you climb up either from H\u0159ensko or via the alternative Ml\u00fdnsk\u00e1 route from Mezn\u00ed Louka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=250916\">Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_gorges_of_the_River_Kamenice\"><\/span>2.

The river has carved deep into the massive sandstone cliffs, creating steep walls that reach up to fifty metres high in places. The biggest draw here is the boat trip, where the ferryman pushes you along the water with a long pole while telling funny stories about the local rock formations \u2014 with a little imagination you can spot various animals or fairy-tale characters in them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment the Wild Gorge (Divok\u00e1 sout\u011bska) is in operation for visitors, where you&#8217;ll pay around 3.50 \u20ac for a boat ride and enjoy a beautiful trip through the mysterious canyon. The neighbouring Edmund&#8217;s Gorge \u2014 sometimes called the Quiet Gorge \u2014 was sadly hit significantly by the fire, and clearing the aftermath is proving very difficult. Travellers still highly recommend the trip through the Wild Gorge, but please always check the current boat operating situation on the official website before you go, just to be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=252592\">the gorges of the Kamenice<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_The_Tisa_Walls\"><\/span>3.

This sandstone rock town lies on the edge of the Elbe Sandstones Protected Landscape Area near the pretty village of Tis\u00e1, and it&#8217;s made up of an incredible maze of towers, columns and ravines with fascinating shapes. Admission to the rock town costs around 4 \u20ac.

The biggest stars here are Mariina Sk\u00e1la, with its iconic wooden gazebo right at the summit, and the nearby Vilem\u00ednina St\u011bna. The climbs up to these rocky viewpoints do take a bit of effort and you&#8217;ll work up a proper sweat on the steps, but the breathtaking panoramas of rolling forests and rocks are one hundred percent worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Access to these viewpoints is completely free; you only pay for parking down in the village. In the spring of 2026 a smaller forest fire hit this particular area, but the viewpoints fortunately survived and remain safely accessible via the marked trails. It&#8217;s said to be one of the very best spots in the whole park for romantic sunset-watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Detailed guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=252593\">the Jet\u0159ichovice viewpoints<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Hrensko\"><\/span>5.

It lies at the confluence of the Elbe and Kamenice rivers and, at an altitude of around 115 metres above sea level, it&#8217;s the lowest-lying village in the entire Czech Republic. Steep rock walls hem it in on both sides, which means it stays pleasantly cool here even in the height of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The village is well known for its large Vietnamese market, which stretches along the road and which tourists view rather ambivalently \u2014 though it has become something of a historical fixture of the local colour by now. H\u0159ensko serves as the main starting point for both Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na and the boats in the gorges. You should be prepared, however, for the local car parks to be hopelessly full by mid-morning in high season. Nearby Mezn\u00ed Louka makes a great alternative for parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Dolsky_Mlyn\"><\/span>6.

The Dolsk\u00fd Ml\u00fdn is the romantic ruin of an old water mill on the River Kamenice, now a protected cultural monument that draws plenty of photographers. Its magical atmosphere has enchanted Czech filmmakers too \u2014 scenes for the legendary fairy tale The Proud Princess and, later, the popular film Hell with the Princess were shot here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t drive to the mill \u2014 you have to make a pleasant walk through the forest to reach it, which only adds to its remote and mysterious charm. Entry is free year-round. Travellers recommend packing a good snack in your rucksack and enjoying a peaceful picnic here to the sound of the babbling river and rustling old trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Ruzovsky_Vrch\"><\/span>7.

It&#8217;s a mighty basalt hill of volcanic origin that rises majestically out of the surrounding sandstone landscape and forms an unmistakable landmark for miles around, visible from far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I have to give you fair warning about one important thing. If you were thinking of clambering up purely for the grand panoramas, you&#8217;ll be rather disappointed. The summit itself is densely covered with old beech woodland and there&#8217;s no view over the countryside at all. People climb R\u016f\u017eovsk\u00fd Vrch instead for the silence, the gorgeous primeval-style forest and a feeling of genuine peace \u2014 because, unlike Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na, nowhere near as many tourists make it up here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_Bastei_and_Saxon_Switzerland_a_trip_across_the_border\"><\/span>8.

Just across the border lies the famous Bastei stone bridge, masterfully wedged between tall sandstone towers high above the River Elbe. It looks almost unbelievable in photos, and in real life it&#8217;s said to be an even more impressive sight. The bridge itself and the adjacent viewpoints are freely accessible with no admission fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting here is very simple. Just hop on the border ferry in H\u0159ensko, connecting the Czech bank with the German village of Sch\u00f6na, and from there continue comfortably by train along the river \u2014 or treat yourself to a lovely excursion by pleasure boat. Just remember you&#8217;re crossing into another country, so although the Czech Republic and Germany are both in the Schengen Area and there are no routine checks, you should still carry a valid passport or national ID card with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 Tip: Before you head off into the deep forests and rocks, download offline maps of the whole area to your phone. The signal in the gorges and among the rocks is very poor and often drops out entirely, so a saved map will be a big help in finding your way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat\"><\/span>Where to eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a solid day of trekking across rocks and viewpoints, you build up a proper appetite \u2014 and good food is simply the foundation of any successful trip. Right in the thick of the action by Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na you can sit down at the Falcon&#8217;s Nest (Sokol\u00ed Hn\u00edzdo) chateau, where they serve classic mountain cuisine and you can savour a hot coffee with an incredible view straight onto the enormous rock arch. Other popular inns and restaurants are concentrated mainly at Mezn\u00ed Louka and down in H\u0159ensko. If you&#8217;re spending more time around Jet\u0159ichovice, you&#8217;ll come across smaller family pubs serving excellent home cooking at friendlier prices than in the main tourist centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The region is historically well known for its local forest and game specialities, which you&#8217;ll find on the menus of traditional pubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I don&#8217;t eat meat, though, so we always eagerly seek out the meat-free options \u2014 and luckily you won&#8217;t go hungry here. In most pubs you&#8217;ll easily find the failsafe classics: sma\u017een\u00fd s\u00fdr (fried cheese) and chips, hearty garlic soup, crispy potato pancakes, or sweet yeast dumplings and pancakes with forest fruits, which give you exactly the right energy boost after a demanding hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_next\"><\/span>Where to go next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/prague\/\">what to see in Prague<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/czech-republic-best-places-holiday\/\">where to go on holiday in Czechia<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  Detailed guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=250916\">Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll find useful links for planning your trip on the official website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npcs.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bohemian Switzerland National Park Authority<\/a>, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceskesvycarsko.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">official tourist portal<\/a>, and for visiting the arch directly at <a href=\"https:\/\/pbrana.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Br\u00e1na<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781523648000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_you_have_to_pay_an_entrance_fee_to_Bohemian_Switzerland_National_Park\"><\/span>Do you have to pay an entrance fee to Bohemian Switzerland National Park?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Entry to the national park itself is completely free. You only pay admission to selected tourist attractions, such as the Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Gate area with viewpoints (around \u20ac5), boat rides through the Wilde Gorge (around \u20ac3), or entry to the sandstone labyrinth of Tisk\u00e9 Walls (around \u20ac4).

The reason is severe erosion and the great fragility of the sandstone, which was slowly crumbling under the pressure of millions of footsteps. You can admire the majestic bridge from several beautiful designated viewpoints in the immediate vicinity or from the Falcon&#8217;s Nest ch\u00e2teau.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781523648002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_did_the_2022_fire_cause_and_is_the_park_open\"><\/span>What did the 2022 fire cause and is the park open?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A major fire in summer 2022 affected over a thousand hectares of forest around H\u0159ensko and undoubtedly changed the face of the landscape. Nevertheless, most of the park is normally and completely safely open to tourists. Only the burned area and places with the danger of falling dead trees remain closed, including the popular Gabriela Trail. Prav\u010dick\u00e1 Gate, the gorges, and viewpoints are normally accessible.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1781523648003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_is_the_best_place_to_park_when_visiting_Pravcicka_brana\"><\/span>Where is the best place to park when visiting Prav\u010dick\u00e1 br\u00e1na?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The best starting points are the paid parking lots directly in the village of H\u0159ensko or at nearby Mezn\u00ed Louka.
