Hello Discovereres!

 

You are cordially invited to a full-day hiking trip to the lovely Kokořínsko!

 

The Kokořínsko is a picturesque and peaceful natural area just 40 km/25 miles north of Prague. It is famous for peculiar sandstone rock formations, romantic ravines and villages with lovingly restored folk architecture.

 

Our trail will lead us under a canopy of trees for most of the day. A highlight will be a descend to a labyrinth of corridors between sandstone blocks of the Skalní město Bludiště (literally means “Rock town Maze”).

 

We will also admire the beautiful old cottages at Ráj and the rock formations like “Giant Head” and “Frog”.

 

To make the experience even more interesting, we will travel both ways on a retro train which used to run on Czechoslovak railways from 60’s to 90’s.

 

Please note:

The trip will go ahead in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately and pack a raincoat if rain is expected. Read my Cancellation Policy before booking your place(s).
