Water tourism in Pilsen Region

The development of water tourism in Pilsen Region has a lot of potential, especially for vacation and sport navigation along smaller rivers. The use, further development and expansion of the infrastructure though is affected by existing flood risks. The association DHV CR GmbH realized the study “Evaluation of the conditions for water tourism in Pilsen Region“ within LABEL. The focus lies on the evaluation of the existing infrastructure alongside the rivers Berounka and Otava, and the complex use of the tourism potential. Specific problems in flood risk areas were identified, possible solutions for single locations suggested, and further measures for an adapted development of water tourism recommended. Six of the 36 analyzed camping grounds proved unsuitable concerning the flood protection. It is therefore useful to involve the potentials of water tourism within the improvement of flood protection.

Based on an upcoming workshop, the measures for support of water tourism in Pilsen Region will be integrated into the maps of the municipalities and the region.
