Tucked along the Elbe where the Ploučnice joins it in northern Bohemia, Děčín is a place whose character is shaped by its river corridor and the sandstone country of Bohemian Switzerland. Děčín Castle rises above the left bank on a rocky promontory, with the elevated Long Ride forming a notable approach to its grounds. Across the river, the sandstone cliff of Pastýřská stěna stands above the centre. The town has long been an important point for transport and trade on the Elbe, while railways, roads and cycle routes follow the valley in both directions.
