DofE story
Across Czechoslovakia
In August, the DofE coordinators from Gymnasium Varnsdorf and Rumburk decided to combine their passion for cycling and DofE. Their aim was to cycle across historic Czechoslovakia from west to east to celebrate the belated 100th anniversary of the founding of the republic and to tell those they meet along the way about the DofE. According to their words, it was a great trip with minimal costs, swimming in rivers and sleeping under the open sky. It was challenging, but it WAS WORTH IT!
Thanks to Stand Hock, Mark Winter and their friends for their initiative and beautiful representation of the DofE.
