Sustainable tourism development should be proposed and realised on the bases of monitoring its impacts, among them also tourism burden of a concrete region. Presented article deals with hiking and tourism burden in the protected landscape area Kokořínsko. Concretely the article analyses tourism supply and demand in the region and further monitors the burden of hiking trails. To monitor the burden of hiking trails the GIS (geographical information systems) are used, as new methods for evaluating tourism impacts in the Czech Republic.

Keywords: Tourism, protected landscascape area, Kokořínsko, GIS, burden of region
