Prague - We woke up at 7AM to have an early breakfast as our tour will pick us up at 8:05AM outside our hotel. It was a hearty breakfast and we are ready for the Bohemian Paradise. Pax was feeling under the weather and was struggling through the tour.
It took around 2hrs to reach the Bohemian Paradise location with a short coffee break at a Petrol station.
The Bohemian Paradise Geo-Park is a breathtaking testament to the natural beauty and geological wonders of Central Europe. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this enchanting region offers a unique blend of dramatic landscapes, rich history, and vibrant biodiversity that captivates visitors from around the world.
Bohemian Paradise is renowned for its stunning rock formations, created by millions of years of natural forces. The park features an array of sandstone pillars, rock towers, and labyrinths that rise majestically from the earth, offering spectacular views and endless opportunities for exploration.
It was a good hike up and down the trail. The park features well-marked trails that cater to all levels of fitness and experience, guiding visitors through its most scenic and significant areas. The hiking trail is colour-code for experience and casual hikers.

We also plucked and ate the blackberries and it was sweet but small. Our guide told us that the wild blackberries are small as they are organic (no GMO to make it bigger).

The highlight of this part of Bohemian Paradise is Hrubá Skála Castle, situated on top of a sandstone rock. Nowadays, the chateau houses a hotel, hostel and a restaurant.

The Renaissance chateau was built on sandstone at the point where a medieval castle built in the 14th century used to be.
At present, the chateau is used as a hotel. Tourists can access the courtyard and the tower from which they can enjoy a wonderful view of the Hruboskalsko, Trosky and Kozákov.

Restaurant Skala & KLÁŠTER brewery
There was no brewery tour today because it was a Czech holiday. We had beer in this restaurant and it tasted really good.
We reached back our hotel @ 5pm. Our day ends with a Poke Bowl dinner eat-in with Bolt-food and it tasted delicious.

| Salmon Poke Bowl |
In the Hawaiian language, "poke" means to cut something, and that's precisely what it's all about. Poke bowls are a delicious blend of marinated, typically uncooked seafood, paired with various veggies and drizzled with savory umami or soybean paste-based sauces.
