Walking in the Sudetes Mountains - Czech Republic, Germany and Poland

Walking in the Sudetes Mountains - Czech Republic, Germany and Poland

Three countries, three national parks, three mountain ranges. A large part of this trekking tour takes place in the Sudetes Mountains. The Sudetes Mountains run for more than 250km: they range from the Elba Valley in Germany, along Czech-Polish border, and to the Moravian Gate - a depression, where the Odra River crosses the border of Poland, marking the start of the Carpathian Mountains. Sudetes don't offer much alpine scenery. They were formed earlier than Alps and Carpathians; they are lower and in different shape. The most characteristic mountain areas of the Sudetes are the Table Mountains - gigantic sandstone slabs rising some 250 meters over the surrounding valleys. Millions of years of erosion have created spectacular rock formations. You will see some of these formations called rock towns. You will also hike through the most interesting parts of Karkonosze, the highest part of the Sudetes. This tour will give you the opportunity to experience 3 countries - Czech Republic, Germany and Poland and their different cultures, different local dishes and beautiful places. 

Highlights:
♦ Prague - one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe
♦ Faboulous rock cities in Bohemian Switzerland and Adrspach
♦ The fortress in Königstein - one of the largest hilltop fortifications in Europe

Walking in the Sudetes Mountains - Czech Republic, Germany and Poland (Rated 4.96 / 5 Based on 463 Reviews.)

No special experience is needed; everyone who is in condition to cope with long Saturday walks in the forest can also cope with these tours. As a rule, the trips are short and at a low altitude. Often, it is your choice to join or skip a day-tour. The routes follow a hilly terrain without steep ascents and descents. Normally we walk 3/5h a day.

Most of you, who are used to walking/cycling during a long weekend, will be in condition to cope with a tour of this level. You should be in a good health condition. We have successive days of longer and more difficult walking and days of lighter walking/cycling. Some parts of the day routes are done at a higher altitude. The paths are in good condition. We walk/cycle for 5/7h a day.

Khiva, Uzbekistan: Things to Do, How Many Days & Getting There

Khiva in short Khiva, Uzbekistan is a walled Silk Road town in the far west of the country, close to the border with Turkmenistan. Its inner town, Itchan Kala, became Uzbekistan's first UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1990. Inside the mud-brick walls you'll find mosques, madrasas, palaces and minarets packed so tightly that you can walk from one gate to the other in about 15 minutes. People still...

Cameroon Tour Guide: Best Places, Costs & Travel Tips

A Cameroon tour delivers more variety in one country than most African itineraries manage across three. Rainforest, volcanic peaks, Sahel savannah, Atlantic beaches and more than 250 ethnic groups sit within a single set of borders - which is why geographers have long called Cameroon "Africa in miniature". It is also one of the continent's least visited destinations, so the crowds you...

Mozambique Tour: Your Complete Guide to Africa's Indian Ocean Coast

This is a beach-and-culture destination first, a wildlife one second - and that is exactly why it appeals to travellers who have already ticked off...
