The journey continues with even more sights to delight your sense of adventure. As your boat glides along the picturesque fjord of Pavlova strana, every bend of the river reveals new beauty. Lush hillsides, dramatic cliffs, and the gentle play of light on the water create a scene worthy of a postcard.

(Please note that there will be no land visit of the viewpoint, you will just cruise through the river.)
