Via Ferrata in Děčín
Opposite the Děčín chateau across the river Elbe, a ferrata was built on the Shepherd's Wall in 2014. It is likely the only ferrata in Europe that runs through a city center. Along it, you'll find a total of 16 trails of varying difficulties. But none of them is too challenging for an older, able-bodied child to handle. The feratta will provide you with 1.5 to 2.5 hours of entertainment and it's free of charge, you only have to pay for the equipment. If you don't have any, you can rent it at Active Point Děčín. There's also a nice cycle path leading along the Elbe through Děčín; if you decide to spend a weekend there, don't forget to take your bike.
