Your experience starts at Camp Děčín, where we will hand you in a boat, paddles, and a dry bag. A short briefing will take place on-site. The trip has 22 km of a pleasant pace in 4.5 hours. When leaving Děčín, you will be amazed by the looks of the Shepherd's Wall with the Via Ferrata and with Děčín chateau on the other side, which rises above the river. The river will take you through a majestic sandstone canyon through the national parks of Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland to the spa town of Bad Schandau in neighboring Germany. It is up to you whether you choose to visit the center of the spa town with many restaurants and nice cafes or choose a direct route back to Děčín from the nearby train station.

An unforgettable trip, and everything worked out well. The nature is beautiful there and worth seeing. The employees are very friendly and helpful. And we got dry bags for everything.

Great canoe trip at a fair price. Garden a lot of time and could stop on the way for a coffee. We'll be back! Thank you so much!

That was a lot of fun. The wild birds on the shore the plants. Berge. However, headwinds are more strenuous to paddle and maintain position. That will be a challenge in the end. We made it to Bad Schandau.

We have just finished our canoeing experience. There were 3 of us with my teenage children without any experience. The scenery is spectacular and worth it, BUT The initial explanations lasted 40 sec. Where you arrive and what to do if you cross high stop boats. We were not told how to paddle in 3 and for 2 h we traveled zigzagging often turning on ourselves. Until we asked a guy on the shore who explained quickly as the current carried us forward. Da lí meraviglioso!!! Arrived at the destination it was not clear where to dock, there was no one. I had to phone the organizer. We left the canoe with others but there was no one to help us pull it up to shore. Too bad just a few more explanations and someone on arrival!!!

Het was een fijne tocht in een heel rustige en mooie omgeving. Heel fijn ook dat er onderweg gezellige restaurantjes waren waar je kon aanmeren en een stop kon houden.

Einfache Onlinebuchung nach kompetenter telefonischer Beratung zu geeigneten Booten; gutes Preis-/ Leistungsverhältnis; Fußweg von Decin Bahnhof zum Camp könnte eindeutiger ausgeschildert sein; freundlicher Empfang vor Ort; Boote in ordentlichem Zustand, aber etwas langsam - unproblematisch bei dem Wasserstrom der Elbe; beeindruckende Landschaft; unproblematische Rückgabe in Bad Schandau - Boote konnten einfach am vereinbarten Ort liegen gelassen werden samt Ausrüstung
