Fog clings low to the Elbe as the minivan eases out of Prague and the city’s baroque rooflines give way to a winter forest. By midmorning the group steps onto the Bastei’s weather-polished sandstone, and the bridge—an old iron frame of human ambition—spans a gorge that the river carved over millennia.
