Pack your tent and celebrate World Camping Day in Bohemian Switzerland

The holidays are finally here and with them the perfect time to leave your worries behind, pack your backpack or jump into your camper. Did you know that World Camping Day falls at the beginning of summer? There is simply no better excuse for a night under the open sky or in a canvas house. Bohemian Switzerland is a region where deep forests alternate with majestic sandstone cliffs and mysterious valleys. It is a wild, fascinating and authentic place. However, to enjoy camping to the fullest and with a clear conscience, you need to play by nature’s rules. Let’s take a look at how to do it smartly, sustainably and without unnecessary stress.

A wilderness that changes before our eyes

Our nature is now writing a fascinating story. After a major fire, the Bohemian Switzerland National Park is undergoing an incredible transformation and is literally being reborn. This unbridled power of nature will amaze you, but it is also fragile. So forget about “wild” camping, which is prohibited in the national park. You will find plenty of great, official places to spend the night in the region.

We have a great tip for you: If you stay at one of our partner campsites for 2 or more nights, you automatically get free public transport (DÚK Card). Buses and trains will take you directly to the beginning of the hiking trails and reliably return you to your tent in the evening.
