Scale Czechia’s Great Rocks
For me, reaching the top of a rock I’ve climbed is a uniquely satisfying accomplishment—a strange combination of conquering the rock and being one with the beauty of it. I just finished an exciting rock-climbing adventure at Via Ferrata on the Shepherd’s Wall near Děčín (about an hour’s drive from Prague). I chose Shepherd’s Wall for two reasons: the 16 paths one can choose from, some as high as 170 meters up. The other reason? When you reach the top, you have a gorgeous view of Děčín below as well as a broad river.
