Bohemian Switzerland National Park

A mystical landscape of pine forests and deep valleys, with majestic rock towers, gates, walls, ravines, rock cities and labyrinths rising from them.

This description fits the Bohemian Switzerland National Park precisely. This empire of rocks is home to the rarest animals and also hosts remarkable plants. The name “Bohemian Switzerland” is derived from Saxon Switzerland, used for the German part of the Elbe sandstone rocks. The Swiss painters Adrian Zingg and Anton Graff worked at the Academy in Dresden and painted the landscape along the Elbe, who had a hand in giving the area its romantic name. The best way to get to know Bohemian Switzerland is to walk through its fairytale countryside’s mystical gorges, enjoy the views far into the distance, and listen to the murmuring of the crystal-clear Kamenice Stream. Only in this way will you appreciate the unique atmosphere of the national park, which has also earned the EDEN award.
