We are delighted with our day because the scenery along the Elbe is really beautiful, whether by bike or canoe. Before booking, you should be aware that "Active Point Děčin" simply puts equipment (rather aging and not very well maintained) at your disposal, without any service and no clear instructions: it is a game of track to know where to bring the bikes back and where to dock with the canoe on the return. The staff try to put pressure on the bike ride in 2 hours, I would like to remind them that I am on HOLIDAY and not doing a marathon, I am here to ENJOY the nature and the scenery. When I'm in a hurry, I take the train!We followed the recommendations of the staff in Bad Schandau and stopped in the small restaurant along the bike path after the border, a great address we highly recommend! We received a very unpleasant phone call from the staff in Děčin saying that we were late... we had not read anywhere that we had to race, especially since it only took us 2h30 to return to Bad Schandau by canoe. Do not be impressed by the staff, take your time and enjoy your day, the place is definitely worth it: the scenery is beautiful!
