Poděbrady is drawing record crowds during this year’s exceptionally hot summer, but the recreational area near Olomouc is leaving many visitors disappointed.
The site lies only about five kilometers from the city center. Alongside the chance to cool off, visitors encounter rubbish, disorder and poorly maintained surroundings. The area also lacks changing rooms and toilets.
Parking has become another source of frustration, with disputes over who should pay the fee. The headline points to an additional problem: no owner has taken responsibility for cleaning the area, leaving bottles, broken glass and a dirty woodland behind.
