Hiking craze grips Czechoslovaks from Prague to Preice
The Preice long march drew 23 959 finishers this year out of 25 168 participants, as Czech Slovaks embrace extensive walks. Organizers note rising club hikes since 1963, with 100 000 walkers by 1974 and 293 hikes listed in a guide. The fad fuels cross country skiing and marathons, while car ownership rises from 1 car per 16 residents in 1969 to 1 per 6.5 in 1975.
