EA long hike: Děčín

Think our normal hikes are too short? Want to see gorgeous Elbe sandstone while talking to other nerds about effective altruism, artificial intelligence and philosophy? You’re in luck! This time we’ll travel to Děčín and hike the Kaňon Labe trail. Please note that this hike is more challenging than usual – about 16 km, 400 m elevation. I expect the hike to take about 6 hours, plus we’ll spend 2×80 min on the train.

Train seat reservation strongly recommended – see below.
