The study focuses on a specific type of tourism (the so-called Heimat- tourismus) whose main aim is to visit countries, or better said, localities, which expelled and displaced Germans had to abandon after the end of World War II due to forced migration and which they consider(ed) as one of their ‘homes’. After the first unofficial trips, it is possible to observe a gradual increase in organised and individual tourism of displaced Germans to Czechoslovakia since the second half of the 1950s. In this article, we focus on one of the many topics related to Heimattourism, namely reflections of the local population in the former homeland and the stereo - types constructed about locals by Sudeten German tourists. We examine the topic by analysing travel reports published by displaced persons and expellees in their journals since these trips had begun until mid-1960s.
