The Camp 2021
Ignoring Borders Since 2019
Three Day Camp, Two Days of Riding; 9. - 12. September 2021
The Bohemian Border Bash Gravel Cycling Adventure will welcome you into Bohemian-Sachsen Switzerland National Park for the third time in 2021. The Camp is a multi-day Gravel Bike Riding Event organized in the heart of one of Central Europe's most beautiful National Parks, on the border between Germany and the Czech Republic. You will be amazed by sandstone pinnacles and rocky gorges, wild streams, and winding roads. You will find real paradise, a cycling destination you will fall in love with. The #BBBC is not a race, but rather a collection of inspiring rides. Yes, this event is not about speed. It is rather about sharing the love of cycling with likeminded people, having fun, making friends, riding bikes of course, and drinking beer of course :-) The #BBBC was created to share the picturesque riding this lesser-known region has to offer and to bring together like-minded gravel bikers for a long weekend packed with camaraderie on & off the bike.
