A total of eighteen new routes in various regions of the Czech Republic will be presented by the Tourism Without Traces project, which aims to educate about sustainable tourism. People will look at their favorite places, but in a different way. The well-known ones are often already overcrowded and nature and cultural monuments are being damaged.
The company E.ON came up with the project. She developed a Sustainable Tourism Manifesto, in which tourists learn in ten points how to behave on trips so as not to burden places unnecessarily. The manifesto is one of the pillars of the project, the newly selected routes are another, and the third is the accompanying activities.
Accessibility by public transport was important for the condition of sustainability. “We always wanted to find an eco-overlap on the route, such as eco-farms or point out a natural feature. We also wanted it to be a suitable alternative to the most congested routes, but to be interesting enough,” she said at the press conference Kristyna Vackováwhich is behind the project.
The routes are also suitable for children, they start at four kilometers, but there are also all-day routes in the selection. People can go on some of them with strollers. Lukáš Hejlík also found a gastrotip for each route. It is also planned to place caches and commemorative books with a QR code, where questions from the field of energy will be prepared for children.
The Club of Czech Tourists helped E.ON search for new routes. “We currently have 44,000 kilometers of marked hiking trails in the Czech Republic. It was quite a pleasant job for us to select from it things that will be interesting and will meet the criteria that E.ON has set for itself.” said the chairman of the marking board of the Club of Czech Tourists Pavel Prilepek.
They selected several dozen routes, the choice was finally narrowed down to eighteen. In some regions, there will be more of them. The first nine will be presented in DVTV medallions before the holidays, the second half in the fall. People can find them on the mapy.cz website.
In Prague, it is the twelve-kilometer Modřanská roklí route, which starts at the Modřanská railway station and takes hikers past the Way of the Cross, the Lipiny pond, the Modřanská rokle nature park, Cholupicemi, past Točná Airport and ends in Komořany at the bus stop.
