Eurorando 2026 Cross‑border Hiking Festival in the Erzgebirge‑Krušnohoří Region

The Eurorando 2026 walking festival will run from 20 to 27 September along the German‑Czech border, marking the first time the event is hosted in two countries simultaneously. Thousands of hikers from around fifteen European nations are expected to gather around the Fichtelberg and Keilberg peaks for guided tours, marked routes, music, markets and mountain‑tradition programmes. Departure points are Oberwiesenthal in Germany and Boží Dar and Loučná pod Klínovcem in the Czech Republic. The programme highlights the UNESCO‑listed Montanregion Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří mining heritage and includes activities such as rafting on the Ohře River and a via ferrata climb.

A related event, the 14‑day Esperantista Migrado Aŭtuna (EMA) 2026, will take place from 18 to 23 October in Naundorf near Stadt Wehlen, within the Saxon‑Bohemian Switzerland (Elbsandsteingebirge). Participants will hike four days across rocky terrain, covering 12‑15 km per day with elevation gains up to 350 m, and the limited‑capacity trek emphasizes cultural exchange and nature appreciation.
