Děčín town is located in the Labe river valley, on the place where the two tributaries of Labe – the Ploučnice river from the right side, and the Jílovský creek from the left side – separate the landscape of the Central Bohemian Uplands from the rocky slopes of Labe Sandstone Rocks.
The Labe valley changes into a canyon and enters the Labe Sandstone Rocks Area in Děčín. The Labe river is also a natural axis of the town. The altitude of Děčín is 135 metres above the sea level which makes it the lowest-located town in the Czech Republic. Its population is about 50.000 inhabitants and the town is also an important port.
As for cycling, it is a key junction of several long-distance cycling trails. In Přípeř part of Děčín, there is a junction of the cycling trail number 23 (named Kruškohorská long-distance trail) and the cycling trail number 2 (the Labe cycling trail). The popular tourist destinations of Děčín are for example the local chateau, the ZOO at the Pastýřská stěna rock or so-called via ferrata.
There is also a lot of hiking possibilities: an interesting educational trail called The Labe Canyon starts by the Stoličná mountain. On the left bank of the river, you can follow the red, green, and yellow tourist trails.
