Děčín: Circular hike Quaderberg and Elbwarte

The short circular hike starts in the centre of a beautiful park and leads along a winding path (red line, E3; Kammweg/Hrebenovka) to the first highlight of the tour: the viewpoint on the Quaderberg. Here, the town of Děčín lies at your feet. The route then continues to the next viewpoint, the Schneebergblick. As the name suggests, the custom-made wooden bench offers a great view of the High Schneeberg on the left bank of the Elbe in good weather. Not far away is the third vantage point - the Elbwarte. The view from the viewing pavilion lives up to the name "Elbcanyon". Restored at the end of 2017, the sandstone pavilion is a jewel dating back to 1890 and was built according to architectural principles based on a design by the client Carl Hönig. The route then continues, now slightly downhill. Before heading uphill again, there is a covered rest area where you can exercise on outdoor sports equipment. The route continues past a memorial obelisk and a small cemetery with a chapel through dense woodland (green arrow). Here you come across another lovely rest area with a pond (Přístřešek nad Loubím). Finally, you follow a narrow path above the Elbe until you reach the starting point again. The last few metres through the park are quite steep. A nature trail in Czech (green slash) leads along here.
