Bohemian National Park

Bohemian National Park

Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Národní park České Švýcarsko) is the youngest and smallest of the Czech Republic's four national parks, established in 2000 across 79 km² of sandstone landscape in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains along the German border. Its defining feature is Pravčická brána — at 16 metres high and 26 metres wide, it is the largest natural sandstone arch in Europe and the symbol of the entire park. The park's terrain is shaped by deep gorges, rock towers, and canyon rivers, with the Kamenice Gorge — navigable by flat-bottomed boat — as one of its most visited attractions. From Prague, the park is reached in approximately 1.5–2 hours by train to Děčín followed by bus 434 toward Hřensko, or around 1.5 hours by car.

Address
Park headquarters — Křinické náměstí 1161/10, 407 46 Krásná Lípa, Czech Republic. Main visitor entry point — Hřensko village, approx. 130 km north of Prague.
Working hours
The park is open year-round, 24/7, and free to enter. Individual attractions (Pravčická brána arch, Kamenice Gorge boat tours) have seasonal hours and admission fees. Important: some trails in the western part of the park remain closed following a major forest fire — check npcs.cz for current closures before visiting.
