Your own driver from Prague across the border to the Bastei in Saxon Switzerland National Park and the city of Dresden, back the same day.
The driver collects you in Prague, takes you to the Bastei first and then to Dresden, and drives you back to Prague the same day, waiting at each stop.
The route. Road 8 / D 8 north to the border and the A 17 into Saxony. Prague to Dresden alone is about 145 km, roughly 1h 45m each way. With the Bastei the loop is about 330 km and roughly 4h 35m of driving.
The places. The Bastei is a 305-metre rock rising 194 metres above the Elbe, part of Saxon Switzerland National Park. Dresden lies on the Elbe, about 1h 45m from Prague.
The pace. Dresden on its own makes an easier day of about 3h 25m driving; the Bastei adds about 40 km and 1h 10m. Time at each stop is up to you.
The national park recommends the Bastei P+R car park for visitors by car, with a shuttle bus up to the Bastei. A stone bridge, built in 1850/51, links the Bastei with the Neurathen rock castle, a 13th-century fortress.
The city on the Elbe, where you spend the time as you choose before the drive back to Prague.
A quiet stop in Czechia on the return, the town of the Terezín Memorial. Tell us if you would like to include it.
The national park calls the Bastei one of the most famous natural monuments in Saxon Switzerland: a 305-metre rock rising 194 metres above the river.
The Bastei area was declared a nature reserve in 1938 and is now part of Saxon Switzerland National Park.
In spring 2023 the Free State of Saxony opened a new viewing platform at the Bastei.
