Hrensko
Hrensko
The town of Hrensko is on the edge of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Ceske Svycarsko) bordering with Germany. The town's German heritage is obvious in the architecture. Half-timbered German style houses give the town a unique charm. Hrensko offers a variety of facilities for travelers including restaurants and hotel options, as well as tacky souvenir stalls. It is a good base from which to explore the park. Unfortunately Hrensko's location in a gorge on the Elbe River and Kamenice Brook make it prone to flooding. In the spring of 2002 and again in 2006 the town was hit hard by flood waters, submerging whole sections of the town and forcing evacuations.
