With the hiking boat from Bad Schandau to Hrensko. Totally cool idea.
But the burnt forest looks bad, like in another world.🫣

The climb to the Pravcicka Gate is easy to manage. However, it should be noted that bicycles are prohibited.

Furthermore, the route is not recommended with a stroller. Today we saw a total of three families who tried it with a stroller. After struggling through the lower section with the stroller, they all eventually left the stroller behind and carried …

The weather wasn't great. It was fine for hiking. Seniors can visit the Pravčická Gate behind the ticket office for €2, or up to 125 crowns.

Moderate tour, as I'm not in good shape at the moment and the weather is slightly changeable with a few showers. It's nice that the forest is recovering well after the severe forest fires.
The view was fantastic.

Due to the forest fires in 2022, the hiking trails and boat trips off the main route are closed for safety reasons 😕

You go on vacation in Bohemia and want to see the highlight of the region and then that! 😡
1. So during the ascent almost nothing lives anymore. The slopes are only brown and dry. Shame and depressing to look at.
2. Half of the climb is road. Why is the parking lot so far away?
3. Why do you …

If you walk up through the burned area to the Prebischtor, you will realize the extent of the fire and also the luck that this special place was not destroyed. The ascent is easy, although not always pleasant due to the stones and high steps. It's very crowded at the top but it was nice to see it.

On day 2 of our short break in Hrensko, we naturally wanted to quickly climb the Pravčická Gate before heading home. 😭 We set off right after a fantastic breakfast at Hotel Kotva to escape the crowds. Unfortunately, we only partially succeeded. 🤣🧏‍♀️🙋
