Über uns

Welcome to the Urbanature Community! 👋🏽
This is a space for local travelers, expats, and outdoor enthusiasts to connect face-to-face. Our mission is to break away from the daily grind and explore amazing places together, blending urban exploration with comfortable nature trails and scenic hikes.

Our European Network: We are a growing, vibrant community of explorers! We are currently running active day trips and hikes in Berlin, Dresden, Düsseldorf, and Paris, with Frankfurt launching very soon. We are also actively working to get our Hamburg, London and Munich chapters back on track!

### How Our Community Works

Our group is genuinely peer-led! Our active local guides are actually former participants who loved attending our trips so much that they stepped up to lead them for fun. Together, we organize two types of experiences:

  • Local Day Trips & Hikes: Easily accessible weekend getaways starting right here in town. We actively prioritize using trains and public transit for these local routes to keep things sustainable, low-impact, and highly affordable (€10–€12 to support our local guides).
  • Broader Travel Adventures: Unique, immersive itineraries across Europe and beyond. For destinations that require catching a flight, our focus shifts toward slow, mindful travel—supporting local economies, staying in community-centric lodging, and building deep cross-cultural connections.
  • We Are Always Looking for New Guides! 📢 Our community thrives because of people like you. Even though we have active guides in place, we are always looking for more passionate travel lovers who want to lead fun weekend day walks or hikes. If you love exploring and want to give back to the local community, drop us a message! It’s a great way to essentially get paid to have fun—you won't get rich, but we will nominally cover your time and track costs so you can share your passion with a great group of people. Connect with us here on Meetup or through our website!

Whether you want to meet like-minded people on a local weekend hike or join a larger group journey, you are welcome here!

Stay Connected & Join the Community Conversation: To chat with fellow members, share photos from past trips, or get early updates on our upcoming schedule, join our community channels:

    Bohemian Switzerland Autumn Escape: Jetřichovice Views & Forest Trails

    Berlin Brandenburg Airport, Melli-Beese-Ring 1, Schönefeld, BB, DE

    Escape to Bohemian Switzerland for golden autumn forests, dramatic sandstone viewpoints, cozy chalet evenings and unforgettable Czech nature

    HOW DO I JOIN THIS TRIP?
    Click on link below to get complete info and to sign up for this event by getting your ticket.
    https://urbanaturetravel.com/event/bohemian-switzerland-autumn-escape

    SPECIAL OFFER FOR NEW USERS

    • 10% New User Discount using promo code: MEETUP10
    • Valid for this trip or any other trips available on our website.

    🌍WHY GO?
    Step away from the city and into the quiet beauty of Bohemian Switzerland National Park for a three-day early-autumn escape based in the picturesque village of Jetřichovice.

    As September arrives, the forests begin transforming into shades of gold, amber and deep green, creating one of the most beautiful seasons to explore the sandstone landscapes of northern Czechia.

    Our base is Jetřichovice, a peaceful village surrounded by dramatic rock formations, forest trails and some of the most spectacular viewpoints in the region.

    Instead of rushing from one attraction to another, this getaway is designed around slow adventure, scenic hiking, nature, good food and great company.

    Expect crisp autumn air, quiet forest paths, panoramic sandstone viewpoints, cozy evenings, warm meals and the chance to experience Bohemian Switzerland when the summer crowds have begun to disappear.

    The adventure combines:
    🍁 Golden autumn landscapes
    🥾 Scenic forest hiking
    🪨 Dramatic sandstone formations
    🌄 Panoramic viewpoints
    🏞️ Bohemian Switzerland National Park
    🚤 Scenic river gorge experience
    🏡 Cozy private group accommodation
    🔥 Warm meals & relaxed evenings
    🤝 International social atmosphere

    If you love hiking, photography, nature, autumn landscapes or simply escaping the city for a few days, this is the perfect early-fall adventure.

    🏔️ WHY JETŘICHOVICE?
    Jetřichovice is one of the best bases for discovering the quieter side of Bohemian Switzerland.

    The village provides direct access to several famous sandstone viewpoints and hiking routes, making it possible to explore the surrounding landscape without constantly relying on transportation.

    The three iconic viewpoints — Mariina vyhlídka, Vilemínina stěna and Rudolfův kámen — are among the area's signature attractions.

    Mariina vyhlídka in particular is renowned for its panoramic views and is a popular sunset location.

    Late September also brings a completely different atmosphere: fewer summer crowds, cooler temperatures and the first signs of autumn appearing throughout the forests.

    🌟WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS?
    🌄 Jetřichovice Viewpoints
    Discover the spectacular sandstone viewpoints surrounding Jetřichovice, including the famous Mariina vyhlídka, Vilemínina stěna and Rudolfův kámen.

    These viewpoints are among the most iconic landscapes in the area, offering sweeping views across forests, sandstone formations and the surrounding Bohemian countryside.

    Mariina vyhlídka is particularly famous for its panoramic views and atmospheric sunsets over the surrounding landscape.

    🍁 Golden Autumn Forests
    Walk beneath colorful autumn canopies as the forests around Jetřichovice begin their seasonal transformation.

    The combination of sandstone cliffs, winding trails and changing foliage creates an especially atmospheric hiking experience in late September.

    🪨 Dramatic Sandstone Landscapes
    Bohemian Switzerland is famous for its distinctive sandstone formations, narrow valleys, rock towers and dramatic viewpoints.

    The landscapes around Jetřichovice offer a quieter alternative to some of the region's busier tourist areas.

    🏰 Pravčická Brána
    Visit the spectacular Pravčická Brána, the iconic natural sandstone arch and one of the defining landmarks of Bohemian Switzerland.

    The surrounding landscape provides spectacular views across the forested valleys and sandstone formations.

    🚤 Scenic River Gorge Boat Ride
    Experience the atmospheric waterways of the Kamenice Gorge aboard a traditional guided boat.

    The narrow gorge is surrounded by moss-covered sandstone walls and dense forest, creating a completely different perspective of the national park.

    Boat operation is subject to seasonal conditions and local availability.

    🏡 Cozy Private Group Accommodation
    Stay together in a private holiday home, creating the perfect base for relaxing after a day outdoors.

    The property, Chaloupka v pohodě, features:

    • Two comfortable bedrooms
    • Shared kitchen
    • Cozy living room
    • Private garden
    • Sun terrace
    • Free WiFi

    The accommodation provides a relaxed environment where the group can cook, socialize and unwind together.

    🔥 Warm Autumn Evenings
    After hiking through the cool Czech forests, return to the chalet for warm food, relaxed conversations and a cozy evening with the group.

    This isn't simply a sightseeing trip — it's a chance to slow down, disconnect and enjoy the atmosphere of an autumn weekend in the countryside.
