Beyond respecting the basic rules, your active involvement can make a real difference in protecting and developing the national parks. Here's how you can take it to the next level:
Pay the ticket in every park
Even if there is no physical barrier or ranger at the entrance, look for the payment points, machines or QR codes on the parks' official websites, or pay the ticket on the website of the park you want to visit before you set off. This nominal fee directly supports patrolling, species monitoring and the restoration of tourist infrastructure.
Support the actions dedicated to nature
Get involved as a volunteer in actions organised by park administrations or environmental NGOs. You can help clean up affected areas, restore mountain trail markings, plant saplings or set up themed trails.
Inform others and spread the word
Become an ambassador of nature! Talk with friends, family or on social media about the importance of national parks. Explain why it is crucial to protect biodiversity and how responsible behaviour helps preserve the balance of nature, for us and for the generations to come.
Choose national parks for a city break
Swap the classic city getaways for a long weekend in the heart of nature. Choose to stay at local guesthouses around the national parks — this shows that protecting the environment brings real economic prosperity to communities, driving long-term conservation.
