Bohemian Nature and Culture Tour

After landing in Prague, transfer into Bohemia in the Czech Republic, one of the prettiest regions in the country. Once you arrive, you’re free to explore at your leisure, perhaps finding an ice cream or coffee shop (both of which tend to be delicious in the Czech Republic).

Settle in at the hotel and enjoy your first night here.

Cross rugged, undulating terrain today, driving towards the interesting rocky Prachovské Skály area. A steep basalt hill leads you up to a collection of tall sandstone rock towers that have been featured in a few movies. Snap some photos in this dramatic area before visiting the Nová Paka museum of precious stones.

End the day by heading to your hotel for the evening.

Enjoy breakfast before hopping in the car. The views outside the window today will be truly stunning. You’ll walk to the rock ruins of Pařez, where the Trosky castle can be seen in the distance. Visit the Dětenice castle, done in Baroque style and truly beautiful.

Continue to the village of Sobotka, where another small castle is waiting to be explored.

Bright and early, head out by bus along gently rolling terrain, crossing through lovely valleys with great views of the surrounding castles and countryside. Stop into a typical Czech village called Trosky, where you can admire the massive castle ruin up close. Your next stop is the Hrubá Skála rock formation, where an incredible labyrinth of sandstone rocks rises nearly 60 metres high. Get the best view possible from the Mariánská viewpoint, where one of the best views of Bohemia stretches before you.

On the way out, stop in at one of the best preserved Gothic castles in the country, Kost. You can also take a walk in a fabulous rock valley surrounded by pine forest at Plakánek before having dinner and finding your hotel in Vesec, a village with half-timbered houses.

Waking up in your little fairytale village, prepare for a bus tour along the northern edge of Bohemia. See Sychrov, a Baroque castle with a well-kept surrounding park, then visit a garnet jeweller in Turnov. If you’re curious about Bohemian history, take a walk through the Bohemian Paradise Museum.

Continue with a stroll through Dolánky, a typical wooden timbered farm with a castle ruin nearby, and then end the day in Malá Skála, where a cool rock formation and art galleries offer a bit of natural and manmade beauty in the same place.

After an epic adventure through Bohemia, it’s time to head home. If you’d like to spend a few days exploring Prague, you can pre-book an extension. Otherwise, safe travels home!
