The Saxon Switzerland in Germany is bordered by the Bohemian Switzerland in the Czech Republic. Many excursion destinations on both sides of the border can be reached with the National Park Railway, as well as by bus, S-Bahn, and ship. Here we present tours whose starting and ending points are easily accessible by public transport. The hikes run cross-border or begin and end completely in the Bohemian Switzerland.
A current orientation map with practical hiking tips for your visit to Bohemian Switzerland has been created together with the National Park Administration of Bohemian Switzerland.
With this, you are well prepared. The bus connection at 1-hour intervals between Hřensko and Mezná on weekends makes it additionally easier for you to reach one of the Czech hiking destinations gently by public transport.

Divided into six stages, you can hike this route from Tisá to the Jedlová train station in 6 days. The shortest stage is 11 km, the longest more than 20 km. The model for this is the Painters' Way (Malerweg) in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.
