NECKY 2026 – Washtub Boat Race Restart

Vojkovice nad Ohří revives the summer washtub boat racing tradition — a fun competition in which homemade craft built from wooden washtubs, barrels, polystyrene and improvised materials race along the Ohře River to the delight of spectators on the banks. The 2026 edition is announced as a "restart" of this beloved local event.

Saturday 1 August 2026, Vojkovice nad Ohří (approx. 14 km from Karlovy Vary). Start and programme near the Vojkovice paddling campsite; facilities at the Municipal Office (Vojkovice 57). Exact start time to be confirmed. Contact: tel. 774 432 168, ou@vojkovice-nad-ohri.cz.
