Access to Krkonoše National Park limited

The administration of Krkonoše National Park has limited access to some areas of the park to protect it against an invasion of blueberry pickers. The measure will stay in force till mid-October. Those who are caught breaking the ban face a fine up to 10 000 crowns. Tourist and bike tracks will stay accessible as usual. According to estimates, the amount of blueberries harvested per year goes up to 200 000 litres. The price for this amount on the market amounts to millions of crowns.
