We drove to Mezna, it was less crowded than Hrnesko and got parking, it cost 200krn, in the restaurant carpark. After some delicious soup we walked down a steep path and along a river to catch a punt which took us up and down the river for half an hour. The experience was very relaxing, the boat man was hilarious and the gorge was beautiful. We then walked back up the very steep stairway, slightly out of breath but feeling better for it!

The place is amazing. The boat can be access on foot only via a steep staircase because the other gorge is closed due to the fire last year. Be ready for an energetic walking down and up, but the place is so magical that it is well worth it. It was our 49th wedding anniversary, so you can imagine we are not the youngest couple doing it, but there is no problem if you take your own pace, The coffee shop on top is great and then we took a bus back very comfortably to where we parked the car.

The easiest way to see the wild gorge is to take a bus from Decin through Hrensko all the way to Mezna (not Mezna Louka, but Mezna village). We stopped at a restaurant Pension a restaurace Nad Soutezkami for a quick refreshment, coffee and toilet break. The place is expensive but it has a beautiful view of the valley. From there you follow the green tourist trail through a forest toward the gorge, it’s all down a fairly steep hill with some stairs. A bridge crosses the river Kamenice, a large map there shows you your position, then you turn left to get to the Wild Gorge it’s about a 10 minute shaded walk along the yellow trail. The boat ride takes about 15 minutes and the guide gives some information in different languages depending on what the majority of tourists in the boat speak. From there you can continue on the yellow trail, we opted for a boat ride back, walked back to the bridge, did not cross the river but continued on the yellow trail to the Edmund’s gorge. After about 20 minutes of comfortable walk, we stopped at Srub v Soutezkach for a bathroom break and lunch, they serve schnitzels with french fries, hotdogs, soups, different snacks, refreshments, including of course beer. Plenty of seating available, benches and tables, right by the river, very relaxing place. After a few minutes walk you get to the boat rides on the Edmund’s Gorge and my review continues there.

We walked from Hernesko. You can get a basic map in the tourist information that gives all the information you need regarding the route. you walk for about 20-30 minutes and than take a boat ride, or go back. than you can walk another 20 minutes and take a second boat ride. in the end you have to walk another 30 minutes ( some of it uphill) to reach the bus station for the bus ride back to Hernesko

Most people visit Hrensko on their way to Pravcicka brana, but for me the hike and boat rides through the gorges is the real highlight. The entire gorge is breathtaking, simply stunning. I highly recommend doing the boat trips in both directions as you see more. The guides on the boats are great, although I don't think they speak English. the do the commentary in both Czech and German and each one has their own style and technique. We did the Edmund's Gorge trip 3 times in 2 days with 3 different guides and while they all pointed out the same main highlights, none were exactly the same.

Divoká Soutěska is one of two Gorges of Kamenice river in the national park Bohemian Switzerland. It features a sail on small ferries with a ferryman, some 15 minutes ride through the deepest place of the national park. Along the way you can see the nature of the first zone - most protected park of the national park and an unspoiled nature surrounded by high sandstone walls. It's a totall MUST for all visitors, actually it is more popular than Pravčická Gate, the symbol of the park. Best starting point is village Mezná or go through the first gorge (Edmundova soutěska) from Hřensko and arrive there via a forest trail. Ideal for families, children will love it. Also very romantic for couples.

We hiked to Pravicka Brana first and stopped halfway in Mezni Louka for a beer. From there you follow the blue signs gently downhill through woods towards the river. OK the boats rides are a tad touristy but it all adds to a wonderful experience. I've been hiking for many years and I have to say that this was clealy the best ever. DON'T MISS IT

Hrensko is famous of their Gorges which are partially only accessible by boat. I liked the Wild Gorge more as the river there is more wild and water creates beautiful rapids. And also it is much less crowded. Probably because most of visitors starts their hike in Hrensko and end after Edmund Gorge. In any case I recommend visit both. It is very easy walk and the short boat trips are funny and enjoyable.
When you plan the trip be aware that the last boat departs at 5 resp. 6 p.m. and after that the flooded parts with boat traffic are closed and there is no way to bypass them.

Take the S bahn from Dresden along the beautiful Elbe gorge to Schona, a quick ferry trip across the river and you are in the Czech Republic, no passport control. The village is strung along river Kamnitz (Kamenice) the western end rather despoiled by a street market but there are plenty of places to eat. We did have lunch but I forgot to note its name. Anyway a 3.5 km walk along an increasingly narrow and lovely valley brings you to an artificial lake, how often do you see a dam made of logs these days, and then you take a punt deeper into the forest. The narrative is in Czech and German, but on a hot day it is the peace which is so refreshing. Watch out for the elaborate 'flush' birds and lakeside sculptures. At the far end, the toilets were out of order, you can either walk to Mezni Louka and get a bus back or wait for the next boat. You can only buy single tickets by the way. Back in Hrensko the ferry does not seem to co ordinate with the train, allow plenty of time. A day out with a difference.

Elsewhere I have written about the disappointment of the Natural Arch/Bridge nearby. This did not disappoint. Luckily this part of the area was not destroyed by the forest fire in summer 2022. We walked into Mezna from Mezni Louka and down into the gorge in glorious summer weather. Even though it was early June it was very quiet and we only saw two or three other people. The gorge is very spectacular and the track is well maintained. We could have taken the boat further up the gorge but decided not to. It is quite a strenuous climb back but not too bad if you take it steadily.
Note that the gorge on the downstream side (Edmundova Souteska) is currently closed - probably because of fire damage.

What is the best parking spot to start the hike / Where is the starting point?
Written 2 August 2023
The starting point is in the village of Mezna (turn right in Mezny Louka, at the top of the hill coming up from Hrensko). The start is clearly signposted in the middle of the village - you will see the path leading down into the gorge.
There is probably some sort of parking nearby. We were staying at a hotel in Mezny Louka so left our car there and walked. Parking can be a bit tricky in such places in CZ.

Is het mogelijk dat je dit ook met je hond kunt doen ? Dus dat de hond ook mee kan op de boottochtje ?

Hoi, het is perfect met een hond te doen. Je moet wel een muilkorf voorzien als je ze mee op de boot wilt nemen.

I will be in Bad Schandua in the summer with a group and am thinking about a day out to hike through the gorges. If we walk from Hrensko, through BOTH gorges, loop round to Mezni Louka then down through Mezna and follow the gorge back to Hrensko. Is that doable ? How many boat ridea does that involve and how long would it take ?
Thank You

Hi,
If you reach Mezni Louka, The best way to return to Hrensko is by bus. An extra trip possible is to walk through Pravcicka brana. If you go back through the gorge, it is a double

Hello! I want to come for 1 day from Prague to hike in Pravčická brana and Wild Gorge. Does that make sense? I want to travel by public transportation. I understand I need to arrive to Hrensko?
thank you
