Border Bash Bohemia
IGNORING BORDERS SINCE 2019
September 5-8-2024
Bohemian-Saxony Switzerland National Park, DE/CZ
Border Bash Bohemia 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 of Germany and the Czech Republic. The Border Bash is not a race but a collection of inspiring rides among sandstone pinnacles & rock gorges, wild streams, and winding roads.
We ignore all kinds of borders, territorial, political, or cultural boundaries to bring people together to ride bikes, explore lovely new places, and make friends.
CYCLING UNITES!
Gravel Camp
Border Bash is a celebration of everything we love about cycling. In a world where the scene can sometimes get lost in gels, brands, and the pressure to perform, "Border Bash is a breath of fresh air."
Border Bash is about keeping it real, embracing the grassroots vibe that makes gravel riding so special. It's not about shaven legs or commercial overload; it's about the pure joy of hitting those trails and feeling the rush of freedom beneath our tires.
It's about connecting with kindred spirits, sharing stories by the campfire, and savoring every moment without the weight of tomorrow's concerns.

"There has never really been a lull in the lifeblood of the heavily forested and mountainous borderlands of Bohemia. From early Celtic origins to Germanic settlers by the start of the Middle Ages to later Slavic migrations... these wild lands hold deep emotional and pagan history long before the Přemysl dynasty and Christianity formalized the structure of Czech Bohemia across the 9th-13th centuries. Throw in some Holy Romans, Hussites & Hapsburgs, and the international history of Bohemia marches on, building up and breaking down borders all the way to our modern-day, integrated right at the heart of Europe..."
