Bohemian Switzerland ( Ceske Svycarsko) is one of the four national parks in the Czech Republic . Massive rock towers , gates , walls , gorges, towns and mazes were formed through the erosion of Cretaceous marine sediments. The park is 97% covered by forests. Its location at the border with Germany makes the Saxon Switzerland National Park its neighbour.
The gateway to Bohemian Switzerland is the town of Hrensko, which is the lowest lying municipality in the Czech Republic .The 20 kilometers nature trail around Hrenkso takes you through all of Bohemian Switzerland -leading past steep walls, through tunnels and in some places just by ferryboat along the river Kamenice. In the past , the Kamenice was both an obstacle and also a source of income, from floating wood down the waterway and fishing trout and salmon. Today, the gorges are a tourist attraction , equipped with floating walkways , tunnels , footbridges and a weir. Silent (Ticha) Gorge, also known as Edmund 's ( Edmundova) Gorge , was opened in 1890 and Wild ( Divoka) Gorge in 1898.
Enjoy the panoramas from the look out point at Mary's Rock , Saunstejn or Belvedere, which is the oldest observation spot in Czech Switzerland. It offers a beautiful view of the 130 metre canyon of the river Labe ( Elbe ) and of the Zirkelstein and Kaiserkrone plateux on the German side.
REASON TO VISIT
The heart of Bohemian Switzerland of Pravcicka brana , which is the largest natural rock gate in Europe. This rock formation's monumental height and mass will completely astonish you -it spans 27 metres and rises to a height of 21 meters . A testament to the enchanted atmosphere of Pravcicka brana is the fact that the famous Danish author Hans Christian Andersen wrote part of his fairy tale " The Snow Queen " here. It has also charmed Hollywood filmmakers, who shot several scenes for The Chronicles of Narnia here.
If you are caught in rainy weather , head to the House of Bohemian Switzerland in Krasna Lipa.You also will find an interactive exhibition which will delight anyone who wants to discover the landscape of Bohemian Switzerland with all the senses. The highlight is a twenty minute projection of the stirring film The mysterious Landscape.
