Hřensko to open Edmund's Gorge next week, closed by fire in 2022

Representatives of Hřensko in the Děčín region approved the opening of Edmund's Gorge on Thursday morning and therefore the resumption of boating operations through the gorge. The gorge, one of the main tourist destinations in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, has been closed for safety reasons since a large fire in 2022.

A trial opening is scheduled for next week, and operations will be limited for now. A maximum of fifteen people will be allowed on the boats per day. The Hřensko municipality lost millions of crowns due to the closure of the gorge. It suspended investments and laid off some employees.
