THE CAMP | #BBBC2022
Ignoring Borders Since 2019
3-Day Camp, Two Days of Riding; 8. - 11. September 2022
The Bohemian Border Bash Gravel Cycling Adventure will welcome you into Bohemian-Sachsen Switzerland National Park for the forth time in 2022. The Camp is a multi-day Gravel Bike Riding Event organised 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.
