Details About Decin

Destinations » River Cruises » European Rivers » Decin


Founded in the 12th century, Decin is set in a gorge of the Elbe River near the German border. Considered to have one of the country's most appealing landscapes, the town's beauty comes from its deep valleys and amazing rock formations. Nestled on a 165-foot cliff is an 18th century castle, which dominates the city from above.
