About the photo
Back in 2015, we had been to Bohemian Switzerland shortly. We took a boat tour on the river in a picturesque Edmund Gorge near Hřensko. There was a bit dark for shooting from the moving boat, and it was raining. However, we had good memories thanks to atmospheric place and cheerful guide.

About the place
(wikipedia)
The Kamnitz Gorge was first travelled in 1877 by young men. Prince Edmund Clary-Aldringen had the way through the gorge widened by Italian construction workers in 1889 and in 1890 boats were used in the Edmund Gorge, also called the Silent Gorge. The Wild Gorge followed in 1898. In 1881 there was a boat service to the Grundmühle in the adjoining Ferdinand Gorge (Ferdinandsklamm), which has since been withdrawn.
Bohemian Switzerland, also known as Czech Switzerland, is a picturesque region in the north-western Czech Republic. It lies on the Czech side of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains north of Děčín on both sides of the Elbe River. It extends eastward into the Lusatian Mountains and westward into the Ore Mountains. Its highest elevation is the mountain Děčínský Sněžník at 726m above sea level. It has been a protected area (as ChKO Labske Piskovce) since 1972.
