CAMPING AND TRAMPING VERSUS CAMPING AND NATURE CONSERVATION

Antonín Tůma

Staying in a protected nature area in one place associated with stay features, such as pitching tents and shelters, preparing food, sleeping overnight, building fires and the associated waste production, can have a negative impact on the objects of nature conservation. In the Czech Republic, we are seeing an unprecedented increase in travelling with caravans and overnight stays in them outside official campsites in parking areas originally intended for day parking only, often without respecting the rules of nature conservation. Wild West-inspired camping, known as tramping, which has a long history in the Czech Republic, even contravenes the Czech Republic's nature protection legislation when it comes to staying in protected nature, and its future is in great doubt.
