The origin of Czech tramping is linked to the tramp settlement Lost Hope near Svatojánske proudy on the Vltava River in 1918.[3] Czech tramping was influenced by the scouting movement.[4] Having been an original Czech movement, tramping became popular in Slovakia in 1925-1928.
Tramping became even more popular during the Great Depression, when many people sought entertainment on a low budget.[2]
While tramping was generally apolitical, there was a strong leftwing, or even pro-communist faction in tramping; some people who dressed themselves in the style of the "Soviet Union", using Red Army equipment and Communist badges.[2]
In 1931, provincial president Hugo Kubát introduced a decree known as "Kubát’s Law", which forbade unmarried couples from camping together or swimming in many places, as well as singing "indecent" songs. In 1935, the Supreme Court ruled the decree to be unconstitutional, after which tramping became even more popular.[2]
Tramping gained importance during World War II, when the Nazis made forays into the woods illegal, though many people found them culturally and socially important.[2] American musical expressions such as those that had enlivened interwar tramps' campfire gatherings became more politically potent as well as more uniquely Czech.
After the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état, several tramping organizations were dissolved by the communists. Much of the clothing used in tramping became rare due to supply chain issues.[2]
By the 1960s, as liberalization intensified, culminating in the Prague Spring in January 1968 and leading to the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968, tramping was more homogenous; it was no longer predominantly for the lower classes.[2] Under the rule of the communists, Czech tramping music was considered less objectionable than rock and roll and jazz and therefore it was more tolerated.[5][2]
After the Velvet Revolution and the fall of communism, interest in tramping waned as international travel became easier, capitalism resulted in less free time and a wider variety of recreational activities, and scouting became more popular.[2] Tramping has since become more relevant for its nostalgia.[6]
