Overnight stays in the open air in the Saxon Switzerland National Park are prohibited until mid-June. In order to protect nature, the so-called "Boofen" is prohibited, as announced by the state enterprise Sachsenforst. Mountain sports and nature conservation associations, the Saxon Switzerland Tourism Association and nature conservation authorities introduced the ban in 2022. The aim is to curb overnight stays in the open air and protect the animals that breed or give birth during this time.
