Bohemian Paradise UNESCO Park

Escape the city, discover a legend

About the trip

Leave the bustling streets of Prague behind and step into a landscape ripped from the pages of a fairytale. Just an hour from the city lies Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj), a protected UNESCO Geopark where dramatic sandstone rock cities rise from ancient forests and medieval castle ruins guard the horizon.

This isn't just a tour — it's a journey into the wild heart of Bohemia, personally guided by a local expert who calls this magical place home. Wander through towering rock formations, narrow passages and stunning viewpoints like Vyhlídka Míru and Vyhlídka Českého ráje.

Then gaze upon the unforgettable silhouette of Trosky Castle, perched atop two volcanic plugs — a symbol of the region with stories as epic as the views.
