Lovers of walking and hiking can be looking forward to a newly marked network of tourist trails which is being prepared to open in the course of 2018. There will be a unique opportunity for the visitors to get to know the „Green Roof of Europe“ and set off to discover the natural beauties of Southern and Western Bohemia, from České Budějovice in the east to Chodova Plana in the west. Within the system formed by major trails and side paths, tourists will be given a chance to explore not only the mountainous parts on the Czech-German frontier (the Šumava and Bohemian Forest) but they can also have a closer look in the interiors of the two regions. There will be easy acces to make a visit to the neighbouring Bavarian villages, as the two systems of walking routes on both sides of the frontier are connected, the German one leading from Marktredwitz to Passau.
