Some paths are temporarily closed in the Krkonoše National Park

• Venue: Špindlerův Mlýn

The reason for the seasonal closure of specific hiking trails or their sections in the Krkonoše National Park is the fact that they lead through places of regular occurrence of sensitive species, especially the black grouse, which is subject to KRNAP protection and also the Krkonoše Bird Area. The aim of this measure is primarily the protection of black grouse and their regularly used towers in the most sensitive period of their flow and reproduction.

The seasonal closure in this particular period of time will help protect this species, especially in its sensitive period, with the least possible restriction of visitors to the Giant Mountains. However, the prerequisite is strict compliance with these seasonal closures, as well as compliance with the year-round ban on movement outside the reserved roads and routes in quiet areas.

Where specifically is movement restricted on the Czech side of the mountains?
