Explore dramatic sandstone formations and breathtaking landscapes, including the iconic Bastei Bridge. This unique journey blends cinematic history with nature’s beauty, creating an unforgettable experience in every season.

*Leave Prague behind and venture into a world where fantasy and nature collide. This full-day trip takes you deep into the sandstone landscapes that inspired legends and hosted Hollywood.

Tour Highlights

Bastei Bridge – Sandstone Marvel Above the Elbe (Saxon Switzerland, Germany)

Begin your day in Germany, where the famous Bastei Bridge links massive sandstone towers high above the Elbe River. This 19th-century structure offers panoramic views over deep gorges and rugged hills. A short, easy walk brings you to the bridge — one of the most iconic and photogenic locations in the region.

Tisa Walls – Explore Narnia’s Real-World Location (Bohemian Switzerland, Czech Republic)

Your next destination is the magical Tisa Walls (Tiské stěny), where scenes from The Chronicles of Narnia were filmed. These towering sandstone cliffs and labyrinthine paths form a natural maze that has captivated filmmakers and hikers alike. You’ll wind your way through narrow passages, beneath overhangs, and past sculpted rock towers that look like they belong in another world. In summer, the forested trails offer shade and serenity; in winter, snow and ice add a mystical touch. Whatever the season, this is a place that stirs the imagination and soothes the soul.
