Dear sport and ARDF friends,
On behalf of the Czech Radio Club we would like to invite you all to the North Bohemia in the Czech Republic for the 21st IARU World ARDF Championships. North Bohemia is a very diverse region with many nature reserves and protected areas. Its regional capital and the Championships venue, Liberec, is surrounded by Jizera Mountains and Lusatian Mountains. We hope you will appreciate beautiful Bohemian forests as much as we do.
We would be also happy to see you all in the Training camp, held between August 24 and 26, 2023.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Liberec!

Venue:
Liberec is a city from the 16th century known for its industry, culture and many sport events – especially in skiing and ice hockey. Liberec offers many things to do and see during your day off. Its dominant is the Town hall, designed in the alpine renaissance style at the end of 19th century by the Viennese architect Franz Neumann. In the Liberec ZOO you can see numerous wild cats, among which are white Bengal tigers (the only ones in CZ), snow leopards, lynxes and lions. For nature-lovers there is Liberec's Botanical Garden, dating back more than 125 years and including Europe's oldest bonsai tree, diverse display of carnivorous plants, or an underwater walkway with tropical fish.
