Highlights
  • Czech Paradise - Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your Prague location. After about 1.5 hours of a comfortable drive, you’ll arrive at the Bohemian Paradise National Park. This area was the first protected scenic district in Czechoslovakia and later became the first UNESCO geopark in Czechia.

You will also discover the most developed Czech rock town, featuring formations made up of dozens of uniquely shaped natural sandstone towers. These pinnacles were formed 90 million years ago and today reach heights of up to 80 meters.

  • Hrad Trosky - This region is home to numerous castles and chateaus. During the hike (approximately 8 km or 5 miles, adjustable), you’ll first visit Trosky Castle, which offers a breathtaking view of the landscape (limited opening hours during the winter season and specific months).
  • Hrad Valdstejn - After a short transfer, you’ll arrive at one of the oldest castles in Czechia, the seat of the noble Wallenstein family, which is well worth exploring (limited opening hours during the winter season and specific months).
  • Hruba Skala - Rock City - After hiking and passing by the most developed rock town in Czechia, you’ll reach Hruba Skala Chateau, where Czech fairy tales were filmed (closed on Mondays and during the winter months). After a Bohemian lunch, the last part of the hike awaits you.
  • SKODA Museum - If you’re a car enthusiast, we highly recommend visiting the SKODA car museum or factory on the way back to Prague (optional). A reservation is required in advance for the factory tour.

Additional Information

The distinction of being the first protected area in Czechia (established in 1955) and the first UNESCO geopark in the nation, goes to Bohemian Paradise. This area is famously recognized for its distinct sandstone rock structures (like the Dragon’s tooth or Bandleader), which represent the most advanced rock town in Czechia, complemented by appealing castles and chateaus. Your hiking journey here will take you through three key highlights - the Hruba Skala chateau (popular as a filming location for Czech fairy tales), Trosky, and Wallenstein castle. Each castle offers a unique history, tales, and atmosphere to captivate you. If you happen to be a car enthusiast, you have the option to visit the SKODA car museum or factory enroute.

Don't miss this special area of the Czech Republic - We went on this private excursion to Bohemian Paradise NP with Michal while in Prague the first week of September. This tour took us to a unique place that most visitors to Prague never see and it was one of the most enjoyable days of our entire time in the Czech Republic. Michal is extremely knowledgeable about the area, describing everything we saw and answering all of our questions in very fluent English. We saw all of the attractions listed, stopping first at the ancient Trosky castle ruins then continuing by car into the park. The hike is about 8 Km with moderate elevation changes along the way through a small section of Bohemian Paradise Park, a geological wonder with beautiful rock formations everywhere you look. Amidst that are the lovely Valdstejn Castle and the Hruba Skala Chateau where we enjoyed a delicious Czech lunch that Michal included in the tour. On the return trip we made two stops. The first was a special request of ours, visiting the Granat Museum in Turnov, where the history of Czech garnet mining and jewelry making was presented. The tour was only available in Czech but Michal interpreted the presentation and communicated our questions wonderfully. This is where the jewelry seen in the many Prague Granat stores come from so it was extra special for my wife to purchase a ring directly from the source. The second stop was at the Skoda car museum as described here in the listing, although we arrived a little too late for the tour, we were still able to photograph some of the displayed vehicles. With the beautiful weather we had, Michal’s outgoing personality and the beautiful sights he showed us It was the perfect day. To anyone who loves the outdoors and is considering visiting the park, I would strongly recommend going on this trip with Michal to experience this beautiful area of the Czech Republic.
