This is a great park and I'm so glad that I went. Originally Bing showed a picture of the Bastei Bridge in the park as one of their wallpapers and I became so taken with it that I did some research and booked a hiking trip. The Saxon Switzerland National Park lies on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic and you can easily access the park from either country. I went from Prague on a 14 hour day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rock formations are captivatingly awesome and the bridge lives up to it's reputation. Because our tour left very early we ended up being the first on the bridge so the photos we got were spectacular. Also great views of the Elbe River. Not much of the original fort remains. After lunch we hiked down the side of the mountain to a river gorge, walked along it until we took a dinghy through the sandstone walls of the Kamenice Gorges. Absolutely worth it. Good hiking shoes are a must. Fortunately my tour was well paced with rest stops and meals.
2. Terezin Memorial

On the initiative of the newly created Czechoslovak government, in 1947 the National Suffering Memorial was opened on the site of the suffering of tens of thousands; it was later on renamed the Terezin Memorial. The key mission of the Terezin Memorial, the only institution of its kind in the Czech Republic, is to commemorate the victims of the Nazi political and racial persecution during the occupation of the Czech lands in World War II, to promote museum, research and educational activities, and look after the memorial sites connected with the suffering and death of dozens of thousands of victims of violence.

Visiting Terezin is a worthwhile trip out of the old town of Prague. We went by public transport (finding the correct busstop at the right metro station was challenging; at time if our visit it was busstop 7 at the back of the metro station Nadrazi Holesovice (red metro line); this regional bus is not covered by the day pass for Prague public transport but we could buy a ticket directly from the driver). After about an hour drive, the bus stops close to either the Small Fortress or the Ghetto Museum; either could be a good start and everything is within walking distance. We did a guided tour at the Small Fortress which gave the whole place some context. We explored the museum and barracks by ourselves; we saw some guided tours rushing passed us and were glad we had more time to actually read the displays to understand more - the guided tours did not seem to spend much time in there. The columbarium just outside of the main centre was worthwhile a visit; we did not have enough time to walk to the crematorium (I guess we had seen enough to get a picture of what occured in WW2 but if we didn’t have to catch the bus back, we would have liked to go there so it’s worthwhile considering when you plan your day). There was a very small cafe in the museum; the food & drink choices were very limited but the man serving us was vey welcoming! It was a funny experience in a day filled with quite sad stories.

It is very impressive to see Pravcicka brana by myself!! Nature is so powerful! It is worth to walk for many steps to see it. you need to pay for the entrance fee but it isn't much. You must go there if you go to Hrensko! Don't miss it! When you are under the arch, you will have another feeling. My daughter also enjoyed the hiking very much and love Pravcicka brana! she took a lot of photos there. We were lucky to have nice weather! not that hot in July! The sun wasn't too strong as well so we could walk comfortably.

It is a small castle overlooking the river down below. We walked through the castle grounds and skipped out on the tour as we were more interested in enjoying the outdoors. Nice castle!
