Your adventure begins in the German section of the park with a visit to the world-famous Bastei Bridge. Suspended among massive sandstone spires above the Elbe River, this 19th-century stone bridge offers unforgettable panoramic views of the canyon and surrounding mountains. It's one of the most photographed landmarks in Germany — and a spectacular way to start the day.
Continue into the Czech side of the park, where you’ll ascend forested trails to reach the majestic Pravčická Arch, the largest sandstone arch in Europe. Towering high above the landscape, it’s a true geological wonder. Multiple nearby viewpoints provide incredible perspectives of the arch and the dramatic terrain around it. The uphill sections require some effort, but the scenery is well worth every step.
End your day with a tranquil change of pace in the Wild Gorge, a narrow canyon accessible only by small boats. Glide silently through moss-covered cliffs, under overhanging rock walls, and past waterfalls and crystal-clear water. The peaceful atmosphere and untouched nature of this spot make it a true hidden gem — a perfect ending to a day of adventure.
