"České Švýcarsko", namely, it sounds in Czech the name of the reserve, which is located in the north-west of the country, near the border with Germany. On the other side of the border of the Schwaria becomes Saxon.
But since the borders in Schengen are conditional, and within the park, especially, then we will consider both halves of the reserve together as Czech-Saxon Switzerland.
Czech-Saxon Switzerland in all its glory.
Where did it come from in the Czech Republic?
According to legends, in the 19th century, two Swiss went to restore the Dresden Gallery at the invitation of the Kurfürst himself, and were very surprised, finding near the sandstone mountains, very resembling relatives. And of course, all his free time, friends spent on the slopes, as a result surrounding these place the name of the Motherland. This name has taken place, because the landscape really reminds Swiss. By that time, these mountains had already had the status of a natural reservation, and from the beginning of 2000, the National Reserve "Czech Switzerland".
True, these places are difficult to call the mountains, since the highest point of the park - Dechin Snezhník (Děčínský sněžník) - is at an altitude of 723 meters. But, nevertheless, it is the scaling formations and canyons that fascinate many arriving tourists in them, and Pravčická Brána, who consider Park's symbol, are also the biggest mountain arch in Europe of natural origin. Currently, it is impossible to get on the arch due to the danger of its possible collapse, but several viewing sites are organized in the district, in the most curious sightsets.
The old stone observation tower on top is called the same as Mountain itself - Děčínský Sněžník. The best view of the Czech Switzerland opens with this tower.
How to get yourself?
The easiest way is to acquire a tour in advance via the Internet or directly in Prague and forget about the need to invent and develop your leisure. The approximate cost of excursion in the office of travel agencies in 2019 - 40 €, when booking online - about 32 €.
Here are fragments from Lydia's feedback:
"Perhaps the most unforgettable event of our journey has become an excursion to Czech Switzerland ...
The Great Danish Talener G.kh. Andersen attended this place and scream inspiration in contemplation of local beauties ...
We boot into the boat, rather reminiscent of the Venetian Gondola ...
That's how funny figures were opened with our eyes, cut out of the tree clearly for the entertainment of tourists, and in one place our cheerful gondoller jerked for the rope, having wrapped the real waterfall in front of us ... "
Olga writes:
"Circle beauty! And you do not know where to watch. If in the Czech part, the nature reserve seemed to be quiet, peaceful, calm, then the Saxon part of him, on the contrary, is full of majesty, grandeur, feel helpless in front of the most power of nature ...
Amazing landscapes are opening with the height of the Bastai mountains. And here is the famous bridge of Bastai. It is built from sandstone, that is, the material for him served the same mountains ... "
But many travelers prefer to act independently, acquiring additional freedom.
How to get to Czech Switzerland yourself?
So, the shortest way to the park - by train, from Prague Station Mosarikova to Dechin (Děčín), cities near the reserve. The road takes about two hours. If accommodation near the park was booked in advance, then, most likely the hotel's services include guests at the station and transfer to the hotel.

Here is what tourists write in reviews after visiting the park: "It is along the Laba (Elba" in front of the eyes grow beautiful landscapes: they threw the water lishes, then the boat is lonely on the bank of the river, then the houses are cute with brown roofs along the coast, then the castle ... "
The road by car from Dresden will take about 45 minutes, from Prague - about one and a half hours.

What to do in the park?
Czech Swiss Mountains, though not big, but still mountains. And classes here are the advantage of mountainous - mountaineering, trekking and alloys, but naturally in the simplest form, for unprepared participants.

The Czech Republic is an amazing country, saturated with interests, with a relative and close Russian man mentality of residents and culture. But if the time begins, satisfying and once again the question arises - where to go to the Czech Republic, then go to Switzerland. In the Czech Republic, it is also there, and the most real.
Hi friends. Czech Switzerland. A rather strange name, what would be hiding behind him, right? And the Czech reserve is hidden behind him, located on the border with Germany. On the other side of the border, he goes to Saxon Switzerland. But the park is not only famous for its strange name. What else? Now we will tell.
It is believed that in the XIX century, two Swiss were invited to restoration. They were very surprised when the sandstone mountains found nearby, very much resembling their native edges.
Artists, peering into the rocks of someone else's country, swiss landscapes from childhood have painted.
Thanks to these pictures, the place was called Saxon Switzerland. There is another version: the artists themselves gave the place such a name.
Centers passed and the border between Germany and the Czech Republic was held here. Part of the magnificent places remained in the territory of the land of Saxony, and part in the territory of the Czech Republic.
Czechs slightly changed the name and the Czech Switzerland appeared (České Švýcarsko). The name has taken place.
Since 2000, this area has received the status of the National Park.
Bohemian Switzerland National Park is its official name.

How to get
The best thing take a car for rent And do not use trains and buses. By car, the Czechs go pleasant, plus you are not tied to schedules.
- From Prague
To get to this corner of the Czech Republic and inspect the romantic ruins among the mountains and mines, you need to get to Dechin (Děčín), the nearest of the city park, from Prague Station Mosarikova.
From the salary on the bus for another 20 -25 to 20 minutes. There you can take a bike for rent.

Do not be afraid to come here in winter. Ice waterfalls are simply affected by all sorts of bizarre rocks, rare plants and other wealth of this edge, which we have already told.
- From Dresden.
From Dresden to get even faster. By car on the highway 172, after the castle, you need to move to another coast near the city of Bad Spauau. When you cross the border and get to the Czech Republic, you will have the route number 172 to turn into a track number 62. Early a couple of kilometers and turn to the left. Everything in Czech Switzerland.
The Mountains of the Czech Republic is offended. Czech mountains, of course, are low, but picturesque. And one mountain region even got the name "" ( České Švýcarsko). Eco Divo, you will tell you, Switzerland labels and Venice are the most common. A little city in the canals - immediately "Venice". And if the terrain is hilly - "Switzerland", a clear case.
As for the Czech Switzerland, in this case the Swiss themselves like this corner of the ore mountains of their Switzerland. The Swiss artists arrived in Dresden - to restore the paintings in the Dresden Gallery - and in the vicinity of Elba found an extremely attractive place: sharp rocks from sandstone, deep canyons, hills, crumbs. "Well, as we have in Switzerland," the artists said. So it was born.
On the Czech side, the Czech Switzerland National Park was formed. And on the other side of Elba - Saxon Switzerland. We visited both there, and there. In this article, I will talk about our walk on Czech Switzerland, and in the next - about Saxon.
We left the Prague about 8 in the morning and an hour later in two have already approached the Czech-German border. River (in Czech Laba), which passes the border of countries, it looks very romantic in this place: it's not narrow and not wide, it flows among the wooded mountains, on the shores of its somewhere visible houses, but in general, the place seems to be secluded and quiet .
Genzko city
Our goal - genzko citywho stands at the location of the River Kamenitsa in Laba. Czech Switzerland National Park begins from Genzko.
Pier near Grier
At the edges of the gorge, like the entrance towers, there are two hotels. Hotel Labe is especially impressive - it seems that he relies on the rock.
Hotel opposite - quarreling
We turn right and moving along the rocky river.
The city of Genzko begins with long trading rows. Trade here Vietnamese.
The ranks end before the main city square, the same miniature, as well as the whole city, with a small church.
City stretch along the river. At home there are on both sides of the river, and the mountain slopes are raised behind them.
Many hotels and private guest houses. There are cafes and shops, the word, the entire infrastructure of the spa town. Cute houses. Say, this, overgrown with ivy.
And the most charming villa is harnessed slightly away from the road, behind the rocky protrusion.
A series of houses along Kamenitsa completes the Prague Hotel (Praha) - one of the best in the city. And the whole griege from "Labe" to "Praha" can be passed in 15 minutes.
Then the way disagree. Along the river there is a pedestrian trail (on it we returned to the city in three hours). The road goes to the right of the Yanov village, to the left - to the mesna of Lowka and then to the Yetrzhihovitz, the ancient Saxon village.
Pedestrian routes for Czech Switzerland
Most tourists (and we including) travel to the town of Loudka, from where walking routes on the Czech Switzerland National Park are beginning.
Scheme of hiking routes Growsko
The most popular route leads to Rover Brana, unique natural arched bridge. From the Mesni Lowka to Rovertice Brana to go along the trail of 70 minutes (as indicated on the park map) and then another 45 minutes will take the road to Grenzko.
We go on another route. First, 2 km are passing along the asphalt road. The road goes among the fields.
Land over the crowns of trees can be seen rocks.
Return to the Na Vyhlidce Pension.
Behind the house begins the trail, which leads to the Kamenitsa River.
The descent to the river Krut and a tortist, the trail goes among the rocks and trees.
Mountain serpentine ends with access to the bridge.
We reached the bottom of the gorge. From the canyon bridge looks spectacular: the vertical rock walls stand opposite each other. How much time water suited rocks to break through the way!
Behind the bridge, the trail wocks and walks along the rocks along the rocks (and sometimes under the hanging cliffs or in the tunnel pier).
In one place the gorge makes a steep turn and expands. At the expansion site there is a house in which a small museum is arranged dedicated to the nature of this edge.
Rafting on the River Kamenitsa
But the pier. Pottles have colored flat-green colors. The boat is designed for 26 persons.
We are waiting behind
Loading into the boat and go swimming downstream.
This stretch of rocky is called.
Boat manages a boatman with a pole. It stands on the stern, rules the boat and Balagrit. And in one place he slowed down, pulled his hand for the stretched cable, and the waterfall collapsed on top of the cliffs. Fortunately, not on us. Waters last long, I managed to take a picture of the last jets.
In some places, there were funny wooden figures among the rocks.
And for the next turn, these rocks appeared.
That was so floating and sailed in Edmundov Gorge. The place is very quiet, secluded, filled with mysterious gloomy beauty. All - as if from a fairy tale: Silent flowing dark water, Sleepy stones in the river bed, leaving the wind of the gorge wall, nodes, climbed into the rocks of the roots of trees, dark green crowns reflected in the water.
The only time our privacy was broken - by us, one boat passed against the flow. Yes, push the sixth boat against the flow - the task is not from the lungs.
Finally seemed a berth. We landed and went further along the trail along the river.
I thought that our walk along the Reserve Forest came to an end, however, the way to Grier took another 30-40 minutes. The gorge lasted and lasted and lasted, we all stretched along the path, the people came across a little, only people were closer to Genzko.
Much better go to Cyprus with children
