We passed by here while exploring the city. Great climbing route with different routes of varying difficulty levels (B-E). Parking is available opposite on the Elbe, and there are also German-speaking climbing guides a few meters away.

The Shepherd's Wall Via Ferrata in Děčín (Czech Republic) is a popular climbing route that offers an exciting outdoor experience for both beginners and experienced climbers. The Shepherd's Wall (Czech: Pastýřská stěna) is a distinctive rock formation rising on the banks of the Elbe River and is easily accessible from the Old Town.

The Shepherd's Wall is located directly opposite Děčín Castle, on the other bank of the Elbe. The rocks offer spectacular views of the town, the river and the surrounding Elbe Valley.

The via ferrata has several routes that cover different levels of difficulty - from easier routes for beginners (A to B) to more challenging routes (C to D) for experienced climbers. This makes the via ferrata suitable for people with different levels of experience.

The routes are equipped with fixed steel cables, clamps and footholds that ensure safety. Climbers must be equipped with the right equipment, including a harness, helmet and via ferrata set.
The Shepherd's Wall rises to about 100 meters above the Elbe, and the various climbing routes offer a varied climbing experience, both in terms of height and technique. The via ferrata takes climbers along steep passages, narrow ledges and offers breathtaking views.
As the via ferrata is well secured, even beginners can gain their first climbing experience under supervision. Nevertheless, it is important to assess your own fitness and experience, as the wall can be challenging in some places.
The starting point of the via ferrata is easily accessible from the town of Děčín. Once at the top, there are beautiful panoramic views of Děčín Castle, the Elbe and the surrounding mountains.
