Great adventure through German and Czech national parks
Anne_A, Jul 2022
This was a great trip which I highly recommend. One note of caution - it is a full day with A LOT of walking (20K steps) and not much down time, so you need to be mentally and physically prepared. It's not super strenuous hiking but there is a lot of of it (and a lot of up and down including a long walk down a lot of stairs!). So, knowing that, come prepared to hike through some amazing parks, see beautiful scenery, eat delicious Czech food and be well taken care of by the staff. We had the pleasure of being guided by William who was very funny and had good tidbits to share and we were driven to/from our hotel by Jan who was also funny and full of information. A really fun day!
Amazing day
Mary_A, Jul 2022
I traveled solo and signed up for this trip. I was picked up in time from my guest house which was great and we met a group of 10 others. The trip was excellent. Yan was very nice and helpful and knowledgeable. The hike was a bit challenging for me but Yan kept encouraging and supporting me until I got to reach the top and see the view. The views and landscape were spectacular. Food was excellent (which was included with the trip as well as beer) and the boat cruise was good. Overall, it was a great experience and I will highly recommend for anyone that wants to spend the day in nature.
awesome tour

I walked 21000 steps from this tour. A lot of walking. Really fun. View is amazing.

Awesome experience
Marcella_L, Oct 2021
William a fabulous guide. He was very engaging with everyone and made sure we were all doing well on the hike. I enjoyed the whole trip and was amazed by the wonderful scenery.
Beyond beautiful!
Angie_T, Oct 2021
This was an outstanding day! We were fortunate enough to be the only people on our tour and Jan made sure we had a first class experience! The views were beyond amazing, the food & beer top and Jan was gracious and so attentive to making sure the day was exactly what we wanted! You definitely need a good base of fitness for this tour but all the climbs and step are worth the effort! Thanks for the memories Jan and we highly recommend this tour!
Just bring your desire to hike and see amazing sights!

An amazing guide and experience in a beautiful national park that straddles Germany AND The Czech Republic
(REMEMBER your passport/vaccination or other documentation - you cross the border and it may be asked for)
The trip out to the park was about 35 min from central Dresden.
I’d split the excursion into two main parts:
Climb up to the arch - a nice walk up; it’s a good walk that we forged through almost too quickly - our guide Jan was constantly reminding me it’s not a race; so there is more than enough time to make it up with a more leisurely stride than mine. The fresh air and scenery helped moderate that a bit.
Once up there - we took pictures and Jan took pictures of us along the way; it’s a great view and the bridge to the old fort has a LOTR vibe going.
We stopped in the restaurant at the top for some beer (50/50 as recommended - DELISH!); then headed back down to go to the restaurant reserved for us for lunch. We remained a private tour, but met one of the other tour guide (William) and his charge who was from Italy and spoke great English despite his self-consciousness.
Lunch was great; the goulash and chicken with risotto were both delicious (as was more beer!).
Walk down to the gorge - another nice walk down; fortunately Jan had moderated me to a relaxed state (beer helped) and got to see pictures of a saint below the path we were on that others walked right by.
The trail eventually led to the boat ride that would take you through the dammed portion of the tributary before it reached the Elbe.
The boat ride was fun and while in Czech; Jan translated for us and it really is a mix between facts and whimsy. Rock formations were pointed out for different pop-culture characters (Jabba the Hut as one example) and everyone got a kick out of the boatsman that hammed it up as he poled us forward.
It was a great day and I highly recommend Cayman for your tour needs; Jan took care of our every need and you’d be in good hands with him.
Magical day hike
Jill_A, Aug 2021
The park is amazing! Jan was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide and the day was just magical. It was nice to get back into nature after taking in the city sites.
