SIGMA-Photowalk Prebischtor

Short facts

The SIGMA Photowalk leads to the Prebischtor in October.

From the hiking parking lot at the end of Hřensko, we make our way to the largest rock arch in Europe - the Great Prebisch Gate. We reach the summit at the start of the blue hour at a leisurely pace. Now we have enough time to make all the settings and enjoy the dawn. The sun rises this morning directly behind the Prebischtor and hopefully conjures up a memorable autumn light for us! Since the severe forest fires in the summer of 2022, the nature around the Prebischtor has undergone a transformation that is rarely seen so close up. Young birch trees shoot up between the charred trunks, their delicate autumnal foliage forms a wonderful contrast to the surroundings and a wide variety of mushrooms grow on the old trees. The way back will offer us many opportunities to capture these details. 

NOTE: This tour is only feasible with good fitness. 

Under professional guidance, you will receive a freshup on the basics of photography and, of course, numerous tips and tricks on composition rules at the SIGMA Photowalk. The use of different focal lengths will also be discussed. All participants of the SIGMA Photowalk are picked up where they are photographically. The photowalk leader will accompany you on your photographic journey with his expertise and exciting tasks. There will also be enough time to ask individual questions!
