Other Risks
Tick-borne encephalitis occurs in forested areas. Vaccination is advised for campers and hikers. Rabies, although on the decrease, is present. If bitten, seek medical advice without delay.
Health Care
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) entitles European travellers to free or reduced cost medical care, at state-run facilities, in the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland. It does not cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised.
