The Bohemian Switzerland National Park borders directly on the Saxon Switzerland on the German side.
Hrensko (dpa) – A forest fire has broken out in the Czech National Park Bohemian Switzerland. The fire extends over an area of around seven hectares not far from the Prebischtor, which is popular with tourists, the national park administration announced on Sunday.
Numerous firefighters fought the flames, and a police helicopter and a fire-fighting plane were also deployed. The Bohemian Switzerland National Park borders directly on the Saxon Switzerland on the German side.
The extinguishing work was made more difficult by the inaccessible terrain. The plume of smoke could be seen from a great distance. The exact cause has not yet been determined – but it is suspected that human negligence could have led to the fire.
