This is a great park and I'm so glad that I went. Originally Bing showed a picture of the Bastei Bridge in the park as one of their wallpapers and I became so taken with it that I did some research and booked a hiking trip. The Saxon Switzerland National Park lies on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic and you can easily access the park from either country. I went from Prague on a 14 hour day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The rock formations are captivatingly awesome and the bridge lives up to it's reputation. Because our tour left very early we ended up being the first on the bridge so the photos we got were spectacular. Also great views of the Elbe River. Not much of the original fort remains. After lunch we hiked down the side of the mountain to a river gorge, walked along it until we took a dinghy through the sandstone walls of the Kamenice Gorges. Absolutely worth it. Good hiking shoes are a must. Fortunately my tour was well paced with rest stops and meals.

It was autumn when we visited. Unfortunately, it was raining and so we just hiked along the trail towards the start of the boat ride and hikes back. Nevertheless, the views during this time of the year were gorgeous! To anyone who is thinking of visiting and not sure how, just drive to Hřensko, park at the parking lot just after Restaurant Klepac. There is a huge signboard telling how to get to the start of the hiking trail. In fact, the hiking trail is only about 100m away from the parking lot.

We visited the Hrensko gorge/Bridge the day before which was beautiful but by far Tisa Rocks was our favorite. There are 2 entrances and we did both. The lower entrance by the church was an easy uphill walk to the ticket office (cash only, ask for a map..all rocks are numbered) before entering at the ground level of the huge rocks. You can meander around...easy walking and lovely scenery. You can walk to the upper entrance if you want and also continue onto the next path past the small rocks (we didn't do this path). To walk between the 2 main entrance takes about 45 min roundtrip. If you start at the upper entrance you stay on the top of the high rocks so just know there is a steep decent upon entry ( so not ideal for people with mobility issues.. use the other entrance). But once you are down it is an easy walk. Entrance is through the restaurant. The hotel restaurant also has a kiosk with tasty sausages/hotdogs on the grill, beers and ice creams. Parking for the upper entrance is on one of the few parking lots or on the side of the road. The entire family loved it..

Built as part of a military citadel with a walled garrison town long before WWII. Includes thick earthen bermed walls, moats and 22 miles of catacombs. Was used as a Nazi concentration camp. Extreme overcrowding and cruelty in the camp and nearby Jewish ghetto resulted in 33,000 deaths. Approximately 88,000 were sent from this location to Auschwitz and other extermination camps. Our visit was led by very knowledgeable and passionate guides. We toured a museum detailing the history and use of this complex. There were items written and composed by the inmates. The guides emphasized to us how humanity must never forget the atrocities perpetrated here. We got to stand in the prisoner barracks, confinement cells, and isolation cells. We also got to walk through some of the underground tunnels used by the guards. Most chilling was the gallows where prisoners were routinely hung. While Jews lived in squalor and disease the guards had a cinema, pool and garden. According to our guide, there were 28 guards to 12,000 Jewish prisoners in this part of the complex. May we never forget.

Part of the Terezin Memorial. The Ghetto Museum was opened in 1991 in the building of the former Terezin School. The exhibitions have been arranged with the assistance of former prisoners of the Terezin Ghetto.

Interesting history of Terezin and the roll it played in WWII as the "spa" for the Jewish population. How it was used as a distribution point to the actual concentration camps but in itself was purported to be a safe haven for Jews
