A new mobile application, EPU, is being launched to address overcrowding in the popular Šumava National Park region of the Czech Republic. The free app will provide visitors with information on parking availability and offer twenty new alternative hiking routes around Železná Ruda. This initiative aims to distribute tourists more evenly throughout the area, relieving pressure on the most visited locations. The application is a direct response to increasing tourist numbers straining the park’s infrastructure and natural environment. By offering alternative trails, EPU hopes to improve the visitor experience while protecting the sensitive ecosystem of Šumava. The app’s data will help manage visitor flow and potentially preserve the region’s beauty for future generations. It represents a proactive step towards sustainable tourism in a rapidly growing destination.
