Rafting the Elbe River with Active Point Děčín | Boat Tour | Water Activities

Situated in the Ústecký kraj region of Czechia, the stretch between Velké Březno and Děčín presents an inviting corridor for river rafting enthusiasts craving a half-day excursion through the Bohemian Central Mountains. Active Point Děčín operates a thoughtfully guided 15-kilometer, three-hour rafting journey that begins at the ferry landing on the right bank in Velké Březno. As rafts slip downstream, the rugged contours of ancient sandstone cliffs rise alongside lush forests, revealing a quieter, less trafficked side of the Elbe (Labe) River valley. Passing through natural rock formations unique to this region, paddlers experience an authentic connection to the landscape’s geological heritage and riverside ecosystems.

This portion of the river winds toward Děčín, recognized as one of the greenest cities in Czechia, where the journey culminates on the right bank beneath the New Bridge at Camp Děčín. Here, accessibility is a strong asset for visitors: the camp lies within walking distance of both train and bus stations, alongside convenient free parking. Active Point Děčín equips every participant with all necessary gear—including rafts, life jackets, and dry bags—and provides essential instruction in rafting techniques to ensure safety and confidence.

The Elbe's calm to moderately flowing currents make this trip approachable for families and mixed-ability groups eager to take in the scenic mountain viewing while engaging in a dynamic outdoor pursuit. The blend of expertly guided safety, manageable river conditions, and rewarding surroundings establishes Active Point Děčín’s rafting offering as a standout experience in the Northern Bohemian outdoor landscape. For those keen on combining cultural immersion with physical activity, this river run delivers a genuine sense of place and riverside charm rarely found elsewhere.
