Krkonoše mountains a "no-go zone"

The Krkonoše National Park (KRNAP) administration is advising visitors to avoid the forests, where strong winds and waterlogged soil are causing trees and branches to fall. Landslides are also a risk, according to KRNAP spokesperson Radek Drahný. The region is experiencing heavy rain and floods as part of storm Boris, which has hit Central and Eastern Europe. In Špindlerův Mlýn, the Elbe River has reached the highest flood warning level. Polish authorities have temporarily closed their side of the Krkonoše park due to dangerous conditions on trails, bridges, and footpaths.
