Your journey begins at the scenic riverside camp in Děčín, where you will receive a canoe or kayak, paddle, and safety equipment, followed by a brief orientation. This is the longest and most immersive trip in the area, offering a leisurely paddle through some of the most stunning sections of the Elbe River. As you glide past the dramatic Shepherd’s Wall with its Via Ferrata and the impressive Děčín chateau perched above the river, the landscape opens up into a majestic sandstone canyon spanning the national parks of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland. The serene waters and breathtaking surroundings make this a truly memorable way to experience the natural beauty of the region. The tour concludes on a small riverside beach in the picturesque spa town of Bad Schandau, where the ferry and train station are conveniently located nearby. After reaching the handover point, you have the choice to continue your adventure by cycling along the scenic Elbe Cycle Route or return by train. The bike option allows you to explore the charming town center, full of inviting restaurants and cafés, or take a direct ride back to Děčín while enjoying the beautiful riverside scenery. The train option provides a quick and convenient return, just a short walk from the river. This experience combines smooth paddling, awe-inspiring landscapes, and flexible options for further exploration, creating an ideal adventure for families, friends, and nature enthusiasts seeking a full day of outdoor enjoyment.
