The EPU app is designed to guide users to lesser-known spots and promote sustainable tourism with respect for the surrounding nature. Along the routes, the app highlights interesting places you might otherwise overlook and lets you collect virtual plant and animal species. Each species includes fascinating facts, and you can also test your knowledge with fun quizzes. Smart notifications alert you when entering protected areas, provide essential guidelines for behavior, and explain the reasons behind any restrictions or temporary closures. This helps users learn how to respect nature and actively contribute to biodiversity conservation. In collaboration with all Czech national parks and the Nature Conservation Agency (AOPK), EPU gathers up-to-date information from national parks and protected landscape areas across the country, including news, upcoming events, trail closures, and other alerts—all in one place. EPU also offers a community platform where users can organize volunteer events, excursions, or group hikes, and report trail issues. The community can be used to share experiences and photos, discuss routes, and exchange useful tips with fellow travelers.
