There are short and exciting ascents from the Prebischtor - definitely take them with you! The panorama of the Bohemian countryside is grandiose. In the west you can also see the area around the Zschirnstein.

The climb to the Pravcicka Gate is easy to manage. However, it should be noted that bicycles are prohibited.

Furthermore, the route is not recommended with a stroller. Today we saw a total of three families who tried it with a stroller. After struggling through the lower section with the stroller, they all eventually left the stroller behind and carried …

You go on vacation in Bohemia and want to see the highlight of the region and then that! 😡
1. So during the ascent almost nothing lives anymore. The slopes are only brown and dry. Shame and depressing to look at.
2. Half of the climb is road. Why is the parking lot so far away?
3. Why do you …

Today we actually had something simple on the agenda: we just wanted to get information from the tourist information office and then walk through the town. We were dressed and equipped accordingly. That means warm jackets, gloves and hats as well as a small shoulder bag; so nothing to drink, no sunscreen or sun glasses. The "walk" then went to …

If you walk up through the burned area to the Prebischtor, you will realize the extent of the fire and also the luck that this special place was not destroyed. The ascent is easy, although not always pleasant due to the stones and high steps. It's very crowded at the top but it was nice to see it.
