Enjoy the two fantasy highlights of the region. The fairytale atmosphere makes this tour ideal for families!
Try our family best-seller which features visits of the two most famous sites of the Bohemian & Saxon Switzerland when it comes to filmmaking - the Tyssa Walls and the Bastei Bridge.
The tour begins by picking you up at your Dresden hotel, Airbnb or elsewhere in Dresden. Our comfortable vehicle will then transport you to the German part of the National Park. The snacks and beverages along the way in combination with an informative description of the passing landmarks will make the journey over in no time.
Our first destination is the magnificent Bastei Bridge (Saxon Switzerland, Germany). The breathtaking view of the Elbe River Canyon, high above which the Bridge perches, will be engrained into your memory forever. Watching the sunrise above the snow-covered sandstone pinnacles is a priceless experience. This easy scenic walk is finished by an excursion of the medievil castle ruins of Felsenburg Neurathen (13th cen.), located at the other end of the Bastei Bridge.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA
FILMING SITE
The Tyssa Walls
The following jurney takes us over the border to the Bohemian (Czech) part of the National Park. First we will visit Sneznik- lookout from 19. century. The views will be spectacular. In good weather you will be able to see all surrooundings including Dresden and the Bohemian Saxon Switzerland national park. In summer you will have the option instead of walking take the scooter for the way down the hill (fee not included since not always available).
Before exploring the Tyssa sandstone labyrinth, a rich lunch in the local-cousine style will be served to you (vegeterian options available), including a drink of your choice.
Finally, the Chronicles of Narnia filming site will be visited - the Tyssa Walls. While famous among rock-climbers and locals, this place remains relatively unknown to the international public, in spite of the Narnia movie having been filmed there. You will surely appreciate the lack of crowds, so typical of the historical European cities or the other natural monuments. The fantasy atmosphere of the labyrinth as well as the upper platform view will make this your own personal Narnia experience. The hike is quite easy even for families with smaller kids (who by the way love the place!). However, due to a moderate amount of stairs and narrow passages, the tour is not suitable for wheelchairs and other such equipment (if this applies to you, contact us for tailor-made tour).
