Den Šumavy
“All four Czech National Parks (KRNAP, Šumava, Podyjí, and Bohemian Switzerland) have joined forces to celebrate the European Day of Parks with a single, unified voice. While each park hosts its own unique program, we share a common theme and coordinated communication to bridge our efforts into a single story. A vital part of this synergy is the active participation of local communities, highlighting the essential link between parks and the people living within them. From guided tours and creative workshops to live concerts, we target tourists, families, and outdoor enthusiasts. Below is the specific program organized by our national park as part of this joint and diverse national celebration.”
