Camping U Dvou Orechu

Alan Rogers Review of Camping U Dvou Orechu

This is a truly idyllic spot, tucked away among fields and wildflower meadows with far-reaching views of wooded hills in the distance. At an altitude of 1,700 feet, this small, quiet site sits in the centre of a beautiful green valley on the doorstep of the Sumava National Park, the Bohemian Forest. This vast area is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and, with Bavaria, it is the largest forest in Central Europe, home to otters, lynx and kingfishers. Nature abounds here, the only sound is from the birds, and you can hike or cycle for miles in any direction.

The Dutch owners, Hans and Freda Neuteboom, are painstakingly developing the site to the highest possible standards, and it is clearly one of the best in the Czech Republic. There are 40 large grass pitches, all with 6/10A electricity. Some are terraced next to the owners’ house. There are ample opportunities for long walks, cycle rides, or just sitting back and watching the rural scene change as the day progresses.

The site is popular with mainly Dutch campers, but this will change as more and more realise the beauty of Western Bohemia and want to share in the peace and quiet, and glorious spring weather, that exist here.
