Discover the beauty of the river Elbe with a paddle in your hand. You will ride a canoe from Děčín to the German town of Schmilka. The river is quiet without any weirs and therefore suitable for beginners.

Right behind Děčín begins the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, which has the deepest sandstone canyon in Europe. During the paddle tour, you will enjoy views of rock walls and towers of various shapes and shores full of herons.

What to expect

Your tour starts at Camp Děčín, where we will hand you a canoe, paddles, and a dry bag. There will be a short briefing on-site. From now you´ll start the tour unguided, at your own pace independently from other travelers. This trip is a 15 km long pleasant ride and you can reach neighboring Germany in 3 hours. During the tour, you will be amazed by the fabulous Bohemian Switzerland National Park from the water surface in the deepest sandstone canyon in Europe. The handover point is located on the right river bank of the picturesque village of Schmilka, directly at the ferry station. There you can visit a local microbrewery or cafe with breathtaking views.

We will take the boat and all the equipment from you after you reach the handover point at the ferry on the right bank. To return by train, the ferry in Schmilka will take you to the other side of the river, where the Schmilka-Hirschmühle train station is. Don't forget the 1,50 € in cash/per person for the ferry.
