Abstract
The study deals with the phenomenon of nostalgic tourism of German-speaking inhabitants who were forcibly displaced from Czechoslovakia after 1945 and travelled to their old homeland during the Cold War period. The first legal individual and later also organised trips to Czechoslovakia date back to the second half of the 1950s; these were a reaction both to the slightly liberalising Czechoslovak tourism policy and granting of entry visas to western-European foreigners, and to the improving economic situation of German expatriates in the Federal Republic of Germany. Attention will be paid to specific features of these travels, whose final destination was the former home behind the Iron Curtain, their historical transformations, and the media construction in the Sudeten-German discourse of that time, which reveals nostalgic tourism
