“Czech Paradise”
HIKING TOUR
A hike in “the rock city” of the Czech paradise (Cesky Raj in Czech), a Unesco world heritage site 100 km from Prague.
The characteristic element of the Bohemian Paradise are sandstone rock pillars. Many of them have been shaped by wind, water, frost, erosion, and people into unique and curious shapes in many cases.
We will walk around, under and over many of the 365 sandstone pillars. We will discover rock gates, niches, caves and cavities, balancing boulders and rock mushrooms. We will walk through “Lord of the Rings” like forests.
A hike full of fun due to the uniqueness and peculiarity of the trek.

Map and logistics

We will go to the Czech Paradise by our van. It is about an 80 minute-drive (100km) from Andel where we come back late in the afternoon.
The tour in details
We will leave Prague and reach the Czech Paradise in about 80 minutes. Once there we will start our hike that will bring us around the national park. We will enjoy the playful features of the trail going under, over and around the many many sandstone pillars. We will reach several lookouts from where we will fully enjoy the view of the unique landscape. Half way we can eat some traditional Czech food in a typical restaurant based in one of the info centers (from April to October). You don’t need any particular skill to do the hiking, just to be a bit fit as there are several up and downs.
We are sure you will never forget this incredible place so close to Prague!
And if you didn’t have enough…
according to the season we can go after the tour in one of the 3 following destinations:
The beautiful town of Jicin (8,5 Km from the Czech Paradise, 15 minutes by car)
A well-preserved historical center, built around a rectangular square with a regular Gothic street layout, remnants of fortifications and arcade Renaissance and Baroque houses.
More info about the city here.

The mysterious castle of Trosky (13 km from the Czech Paradise, 18 minutes by car).
Trosky ruins is a majestic dominant of Český ráj. Rich history of Trosky is full of empty spaces, unbelievable stories and legends. For a short while people were afraid of Trosky very much, because famous robbers Kryštov and Švejkar used the castle as their base.
Admission fee of 60 CZK not included in the price of the tour.
Opening hours: April and October only Saturday and Sunday. From May to September open everyday.
Oborsky lake (3,5 km from the Czech Paradise, 5 minutes by car)
A great summer time idea is to jump in the clean water of a nice lake few minutes from the national park and wash away the sweat of the hiking. After this you will go back to Prague refreshed, tired and happy!
