This study focuses on a specific type of tourism (so-called Heimattourismus), the main aim of which is to visit the countries, or better said, the localities that forcibly displaced Germans had to abandon after the end of World War II due to their forced migration, places they consider(ed) one of their “homes”. After the first such unofficial trips were made, it is possible to observe a gradual increase in group and individual tourism by forcibly displaced Germans to Czechoslovakia from the second half of the 1950s. In this article, we focus on one of the many subjects related to Heimattourismus, namely, Sudeten German tourists’ reflections about the local populations in their former homeland and the stereotypes constructed by them about these locals. We investigate this subject by analysing reports about such travel that were published by these forcibly displaced persons and expellees in their periodicals from the time such trips began until the mid-1960s
