Wild Gorge: A Thrilling Boat Adventure in Bohemian Switzerland Guide
Embark on an exhilarating journey through the Wild Gorge (Divoká soutěska), a captivating section of the Kamenice Gorge in Bohemian Switzerland. This narrow and dramatic gorge offers a thrilling boat ride experience as you navigate its turbulent waters and marvel at the towering rock formations. The Wild Gorge is a true testament to the power of nature and a must-see for adventure enthusiasts. Like the rest of the Kamenice Gorge, the Wild Gorge was made accessible to tourists in the late 19th century. The construction of weirs and pathways allowed for the safe navigation of the gorge by boat. The Wild Gorge is known for its more rugged and untamed character compared to Edmund's Gorge, offering a more adventurous experience. The primary activity in the Wild Gorge is the boat ride. The boatmen use poles to navigate the shallow and rocky waters, providing commentary on the surrounding landscape. The ride is short but exciting, offering stunning views of the gorge's unique rock formations and lush vegetation. You can combine a visit to the Wild Gorge with a hike along the trails in the area, exploring the natural beauty of Bohemian Switzerland. As with Kamenice Gorge, Hřensko offers traditional Czech cuisine in its restaurants.
