The beautiful view of the Elbe sandstone rocks accompanied us from Děčín and it didn't end in Bad Schandau. You never get tired of this view....

Always worth a trip. The drive up to Decin Castle is also always worthwhile.

At the top of the Shepherd's Wall you will find a pleasant restaurant of the same name, in the appearance of a medieval castle with an observation tower. Its white masonry contrasts nicely with the dark sandstone. Although the observation tower is permanently inaccessible and the view from it is not possible, the area around the restaurant and especially the terrace allow for the most beautiful views of Děčín and its surroundings. You will have the Elbe River with its bridge in the palm of your hand, as well as another of the city's landmarks - Děčín Castle. It is not by chance that this place is nicknamed "Nebíčko". The restaurant is open all week from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The Czech Republic has many monuments and the castle in Děčín is one of the oldest. Its history probably dates back to the end of the 10th century, when written sources mention the so-called Děčín province, which had as its administrative center a wooden fort built on a rock massif, i.e. on the site of the current castle. The task of the building was primarily to guard the Elbe trade route, where, for example, duties were collected on the transport of salt. The first written mention of the fort dates back to 1128.
