Day Trip to Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland from Dresden — Totally Worth It!

If you’re ever in Dresden and want to get out of the city for a day, this full-day tour to Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland is 100% worth doing. I just got back from it and honestly, it was one of the best day trips I’ve taken — beautiful nature, great guide, and everything was super easy and stress-free. They picked me up right at my hotel in the morning — no rushing to meet points or figuring out trains. The van was clean and comfy, and our guide, Andrea was super friendly and informative from the get-go. It’s a small group tour, so it didn’t feel crowded or rushed at all. Lunch was at a cozy little Czech restaurant with traditional food. I had goulash and dumplings (so good), but they had vegetarian options too. We got back to Dresden in the late afternoon. I was tired in the best way, with a camera full of amazing views and a new appreciation for this part of Europe.
Spectacular Day

If you are looking for an alternative to a day in Dresden or Prague, this is the trip for you. Milan (company owner and driver) and Andrea (English speaking. guide) were great hosts who did everything possible to make this a memorable trip for everyone. Spectacular rock formations and nature viewing. Lots of education on rocks, trees and plants as well as history of this very interesting region. Really enjoyed getting to know Milan and Andrea, including a visit to their home town in the Czech Republic. Hiking was vigorous but quite manageable (I am a 68 year old in decent shape and had no problem with the hikes). Lunch was surprisingly good. All in all, a great trip!
The hiking is pretty...

The hiking is pretty demanding, it is not steep but it’s long road up the mountain. It won’t be a pleasant experience if it rained even the day before.
Totally worth it!

It's a very beautiful experience. Involves a bit of walking and climbing up a little mountain, but totally worth it. You'll see a beautiful part of Europe, a nice Czech village, a national park and amazing rock formations - all in one day, then get back to Dresden by dusk and enjoy your evening. Totally worth it.
Best day ever at the park! Highly recommend!

I absolutely loved this tour and can't say enough good things! Andra and Milan were amazingly thoughtful guides - I never felt rushed, we were given some great commentary about the park, lunch was hot, filling, and yummy, and the sites were absolutely fantastic. We went the first weekend in March so the park (outside the bridge) had a recent snowfall. Andra had "clamp ons" to keep us safe, and we walked / hiked at a comfortable pace to get through the park safely and enjoy the scenery. I was worried about the tour being too strenuous, but it really was fine and Andra kept checking on us to ensure we were okay. The tour duration was perfect as well - we weren't squeezing too much into a day and I'm glad I decided to do this visit from Dresden as opposed to Prague. Highly recommend this tour - you won't regret it! It's a small, intimate group, and Milan also took tons of great pictures for us and sent them over later. Five stars - one of the best tours I've had in a long time!
