Overview
Bohemian Switzerland (České Švýcarsko) is a compact sandstone wilderness in North Bohemia where towering natural arches, forested ravines, and river gorges create one of Central Europe's most dramatic landscapes. The park is directly adjacent to Saxon Switzerland in Germany, forming a cross-border hiking destination with well-marked trails and accessible logistics from Dresden or Prague.
