    After a demanding hike, you need to recharge your batteries, so the next stop will be a traditional Czech and locally renowned restaurant. A rich "a la carte" lunch will be a welcome and well-deserved reward. Traditional Czech and international dishes are served (including vegetarian options). We highly recommend trying Czech beer, which is one of the best in the world. This restaurant is very popular with the locals and has the best reputation in Bohemian Switzerland. We are always very welcome at this restaurant and we have a pre-booked table in the best place that will be waiting for you ready before our arrival. In addition, we have an advantage over other guests in the kitchen, so the wait for food is significantly shorter.

“Unforgettable Adventure in Saxon & Bohemian Switzerland with an Amazing Guide Ondra”

Published on Nov, 2024

Visiting Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland was an unforgettable experience! The landscapes are breathtaking, with unique sandstone formations, lush forests, and incredible viewpoints like Bastei Bridge and Pravčická Brána. Our guide Ondra made the trip even better, his knowledge of the area’s history, geology, and local legends brought each spot to life. He took us on the best trails, avoiding crowded areas and showing us hidden gems we would’ve missed on our own. Highly recommend both the destination and having a guide and driver like Ondra for the best experience.

An unforgettable experience

Published on Oct, 2024

A great journey to explore amazing rock formations and spectacular landscapes in both Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland National parks in Germany and Czechia. Our tour guide Anna and the driver are both terrific offering us the most comfort, convenience and knowledge of this fascinating place. Their kindness and hospitality are unforgettable and the lunch included is very tasty. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to explore the areas beyond the cities.

Perfect way to see the sandstone columns on a great day out.

Published on Jul, 2024

Saxon Tours (and their affiliate Uniline Tours) provided a wonderful day of exploring the extraordinary sandstone columns at Bastei bridge, Pravcicka arch and Tisa labyrinth, with some hiking and a delicious Czech lunch. About from the scenery, what made it special were the efforts o guides Elis and Kate, and driver Vince, who kept us safe and comfortable and informed; nothing was too much trouble and they even paid for appropriately timed toilet stops. Refreshments provided. 10/10.

A wonderful day out in lap of nature

Published on Jun, 2024

We booked this tour with saxon tours . We were clearly communicated about the pick up timing from our hotel and guide name. Picke up was on time and we started our journey in a comfortable minivan with two other couples and our Guide Ondra and our driver Juraj. Juraj is a very gentle person who drove us safe and sound throughout the tour. Ondra is an excellent guide,full of information and humour and he never let our energy come down through out the tour. We started our visit with Saxon National park and visited Bastei Bridge and couple of view point. The hiking was of low intensity and through out the hike Ondra took very good care for us. The views are breathtaking and you will feel getting time travelled in a fantasy land of an bygone era. Thw next hiking was to visit the largest stone arch of Europe. But we decided to skip that as we are not much of a hiker. Ondra was kind enough to take us to a view point from where we could see the arch from down. Alternatively he took us in a walking tour of two nice hamlets in Czech part. We had a nice lemonade there. Then we headed to a golf resort where we had delicious lunch. Ondra took pre order from us and informed them. So the food came quick and hot. The golf resort itself is a place to cherish. Then we moved for another easy hiking in Tiske steny, the stone labyrinth where ' Chronicles of Narnia ' were filmed. Through out the tour, main focus for Ondra was our comfort and satisfaction. The car was loaded with water bottles , crossiants, energy bars ans other snacks item. Food and drinks were more than sufficient throughout the day and were included in the tour price. We spent a wonderful day in lap of nature with awesome people. A big aplaud fro Saxon tours. Highly recommended.

A Scenic and Historic Adventure Through Germany and Czechia

Published on Jun, 2024

Our recent trip to Germany and Czechia was an unforgettable journey filled with stunning landscapes, rich history, and cherished moments with friends. This adventure, centered around hiking and exploring some of Europe’s most scenic routes, was absolutely a 5-star experience. Highlights of Our Trip: 1. Epic Hikes Through Scenic Landscapes: We set out to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty of Germany and Czechia, and the hikes we undertook were nothing short of breathtaking. The trails led us through lush forests, rolling hills, and tranquil valleys. The crowning jewel of our hiking adventure was reaching the **largest sandstone archway in Europe**. Standing beneath this colossal natural wonder was awe-inspiring. Its grandeur and the sheer scale left us speechless and provided a magnificent reward for our efforts. 2. Historic Marvels and Timeless Beauty: The trip was a delightful journey through history. Besides the towering archway, we discovered an ancient bridge that added a touch of historic charm to our exploration. These structures, with their centuries-old stories, stood in stark yet beautiful contrast to the vibrant, natural landscapes around them. It was a humbling experience to witness such enduring landmarks that have withstood the passage of time. 3. Delicious Local Cuisine: Our culinary adventures were just as thrilling as our hikes. Each meal we enjoyed was a testament to the rich and diverse flavors of the region. From hearty German sausages to savory Czech pastries, we relished every bite. The local dishes were a feast for the senses, and the warmth and hospitality we encountered made our dining experiences truly memorable. It was a delightful way to connect with the culture and traditions of the places we visited. 4. Shared Joy and Friendship: Traveling with friends added an extra layer of joy to the entire experience. Whether we were navigating the trails, marveling at the ancient archway, or sharing laughs over dinner, every moment was enhanced by the camaraderie we shared. The collective awe, the spontaneous laughter, and the shared discoveries made this trip incredibly special. It was a journey made richer by the presence of good friends. 5. Off the Beaten Path: Opting for less-traveled routes allowed us to experience the tranquility and unspoiled beauty of the region. We often found ourselves surrounded by serene landscapes, far from the crowds. This decision to explore off-the-beaten-path locations gave us a deeper connection to the natural environment and offered moments of pure peace and reflection. In summary, our adventure through Germany and Czechia was a perfect blend of nature, history, and friendship. The hikes, the awe-inspiring sandstone archway—the largest in Europe—and the delightful local cuisine made this journey worth every penny. For anyone looking to experience the scenic and historical wonders of these countries with friends, I highly recommend this trip. It was a 5-star experience from start to finish, and I can’t wait to explore more of Europe’s hidden gems!
