Additional Information

Via Ferrata, The Děčín Shepherd’s Wall in Bohemian Switzerland is really for everyone. The beginner will acquire the basic skills of moving along a secured path in a very interesting environment. The Shepherd’s Wall offers a choice of 16 paths with lengths of 150 - 170 m on one rock and absolutely everyone will be amazed by the breathtaking views of the opposite castle and the deep Elbe canyon. You will be safely accompanied by our certified guide along the way up. At the same time, you only need about 2 hours for this experience.

The Via Ferrata ascent in Děčín is also suitable for children. According to our experience, we recommend a height of at least 130 cm / 4′ 3″. The weight limit is given by the technical parameters of the climbing sets, which determine the functionality from 40 to 120 kg. Adults and children lighter than 40 kg / 88 pounds need to be secured with a rope and our experienced guides will take care of that.

Amazing, would absolutely recommend! - We absolutely loved this experience and it was one of the, if not the highlight of our trip to Bohemian Switzerland. With little experience in bouldering and top rope climbing our amazing guide Yael took us to the top. She picked an amazing route, challenging and fun for us and guided us very well, patiently and enthusiastically. Giving amazing tips before, during and after climbing. We absolutely loved her and felt safe with her. The views are amazing and it really feels like a victory when reaching the top. Even of maybe even more so if you have been totally roasted by the sun while climbing ;). If you are able, please do this activity, it will be the highlight of your stay!

Great climbing and views in the middle of Decin - I went alone but the Active Point team was able to put me with a few other people that spoke the same language for instructions (they have tours in English, Czech, and other languages if a guide knows it). I came in without experience so I started with a climb guided by Yael, who was great at showing us how to climb safely and a route that was right for our abilities. The views of the castle and city from the wall are unparalleled, and Yael took plenty of pictures of us climbing to share as well. After that, the guided trip included rental of the ferrata equipment for the rest of the day, so I climbed other routes for a few more hours. If you already have ferrata experience, you can just rent the harness and helmet without needing a guide. The shop is not even 30 seconds away from the base of the wall, so pickup and dropoff of equipment is no problem at all. Definitely something I would recommend for anyone visiting Decin.

Guided Via Ferrata with family - As a family of five (kids 10, 13, 14 years) we booked a guided Via Ferrata and had a great time. Our english speaking guides were very experienced, enthusiastic and took safety very serious.

Great Guides! - My family loved this activity! My daughter is afraid of heights, but her guide was very patient and supportive. The guide spoke excellent English and even gave us directions to the best ice cream and restaurants for after our climb. All safety equipment was included in the price. Would recommend.

Climbing - Today, in addition to renting equipment, we arranged a lesson with a guide at the Active Point rental office. I have to say that was a great idea! The guide Honza was kind, he explained and showed us everything beautifully. It was really an experience and we recommend a lot!😍

Excellent instructor - The instructor explained everything clearly and answered our questions. He found out "how we are doing" and then selected the appropriate via ferrata for us. He was always making sure if the pace was right for us, if we were doing everything right. He took very nice photos for us. Finally he gave us tips on other ferries that would be suitable for us. Thanks to the kind and responsible attitude of the instructor, we enjoyed the via ferrata a lot. Feratty was fun, an experience for us.

Birthday gift - My dad and I had a great time with the guide Jirka. It was the first time and I dare say not the last time. We climbed the first route with a guide, the second we climbed alone and it was great. A great experience and a 50th birthday present.

Nice! - Guide Jael was great! It's nice to have a Dutch guide. She took pictures of us along the way that we received afterwards, very nice! Apparently you can still use your climbing harness all day long. Then you can go yourself afterwards. It was raining for us, so we were no longer allowed to climb the wall.
