Highlight • Structure

Be patient, as it can get very crowded. There are also one or two spots where space is very tight.

Sauenstein Ladder Ascent

Highlight • Climb

The climb to the castle is, however, an adventure.
To reach the summit, you have to climb several ladders and steep stairs set into a narrow crevice in the rock.
The field peaks are connected to each other by bridges.
You have an enchanting view of the landscape.
Today, only remnants of the former castle complex remain.

Viewpoint at Národní park České Švýcarsko

Highlight • Viewpoint

An interesting climb for a stunning view. A wonderful facility, very well maintained and well-designed. The view and the area invite you to linger. It's a beautiful area, and not as crowded as the Pravcicka Gate. It's worth a visit if you're in the area.
