Bohemian Switzerland National Park
The Bohemian Switzerland National Park is the fourth and youngest national park in the Czech Republic. It is intended to preserve the biological wealth of this unique landscape for future generations. The protected area was only established in 2000, but successes are already visible:
The silver fir trees so typical of Bohemian Switzerland can be found here again. Peregrine falcons have also returned and salmon from the Atlantic have made their home in the waters of the Kamenice. Witness the geological eras of long ago and enjoy the lively, natural and healthy present.

Saxon Switzerland National Park
The Saxon Switzerland National Park is Saxony's only national park. And it is the only rock national park in Germany. Its rugged unruliness once saved the Elbe Sandstone Mountains from becoming a modern cultural landscape. The national park status awarded in 1990 ensures that this will remain the case in the future. Join us on a fascinating journey through the geological and biological past of our continent.
Discover fossil relics from the Cretaceous period and representatives of glacial flora and fauna that still live here. The staff at the National Park Authority will be happy to tell you more about these and all the other treasures of Saxon Switzerland.
