Meet Andrej

The Tisá Walls is a rocky town located west of Bohemian Switzerland, not far from the scenic border with the Ore Mountains. The Tisá Walls are divided into two large sections—Large and Small Walls—through which the sightseeing routes we will explore lead. After exploring the Tisá Walls, we will walk to Děčínský Sněžník, the highest mesa in the Czech Republic. It stands at an altitude of 723 m, with a 33 m high observation tower at its summit, considered one of the most beautiful in the country. From Děčínský Sněžník, we will continue our walk to the city of Děčín. Depending on the time, we might stop for a dinner in Děčín. We return to Prague at 10.30 p.m.

We start the hike with a visit to one of the most complex and beautiful castles in the Czech Republic – Křivoklát (Please, mind that we are not going inside the castle. We will see it only from the lookouts.). Křivoklát Castle was founded in the 12th century, was rebuilt in Romanesque style in the 13th century, and in the Gothic style in the 15th century. And while many owners invited the best architects of their time to reconstruct the castle, it never served the purpose kings were hoping for. Instead of a place for entertaining court life, Křivoklát was used either as a safe haven or as a prison. From the castle we take a long path to the city called Nižbor. The path is a part of the Czech Camino de Santiago (called Železná Way). We pass small villages and fields and finish our journey in the local bar called Zastávka. The exterior and interior of this bar will surprise you, as well as the story behind it and amazing food and beer – for those who deserved it after 18 kilometers of walking.
