Venture into the rocky kingdom of the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland!
Straddling the Czech-Saxon border, the youngest of the Czech Republic’s four national parks is a true island of virgin nature in the heart of Europe. This surviving nook of wilderness has been drawing tourists, poets and artists for nearly two centuries, not only for its spectacular beauty but also for its easy accessibility.
Be ready to enter an ancient mountain realm, carved by cliffs, deep canyons and wild gorges, with volcanic hills and soaring sandstone rock formations standing on silent patrol above the forested landscape of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains.

William Levin, Gynecologist, United States of America“I can’t say enough about Martin. Anyone that has seen his images knows that he is an amazing artist. But more importantly to me, he is also an excellent teacher. He is incredibly patient and uses simple language to communicate complex technical points in a very understandable way. One of his great gifts is his eye for composition. Starting to understand how he sees the world through a lens is invaluable. What really made my experience so amazing is the fact that he is a genuine, humble person who is fun to be around. I have participated in many photography workshops over the years and my experience with Martin was the best by far.”
