Walk the rock labyrinth used in The Chronicles of Narnia and stand beneath Pravčická Gate, Europe’s largest natural sandstone arch. This private hiking tour from Prague pairs cinematic scenery with hands-on geology and forested trails.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of a private van into a cool, resin-scented forest and the path immediately tightens—sandstone walls crowd the trail and the light filters in slats through pine needles. The guide points up: a broad, honey-colored arch cuts a window in the rock—Pravčická Gate—and for a moment the world beyond feels staged for a film.
