The Divoká soutěska by boat, the wild gorge of the Kamenice

The Kamenice river runs down to the Elbe through a canyon so narrow that in two stretches it can only be passed by boat. The Divoká soutěska, the wild gorge, is the upper one: from the Mezní můstek bridge, a path beside the water leads to the landing stage and a wooden boat, with a boatman who tells stories along the way, covers 450 metres between rock walls covered in moss. It has been open to the public since 1898.

It runs from April to early November, every day. You pay at the landing stage, in cash or by card, or online. Pushchairs go free; bikes do not go up. Since 2026 the Edmundova soutěska, downstream, is visited separately, entering and leaving through Hřensko: to do both, come to the Divoká from Mezní Louka and go down afterwards to Hřensko on bus 441.
