Itinerary
The Šumava Plains are a major source area for many Czech streams and rivers. Local specificities also include impermeable bedrock and high levels of precipitation. All of this has contributed to the evolution of the extensive peat bogs.
Three kilometres from Kvilda you reach the heart of the fen of Jezerní slať via a wooden walkway.
Features demonstrating the harsh local conditions include the lowest temperature ever measured: -41.6 °C (1987).
Picturesque mountain settlements include Horská Kvilda and Filipova Huť (green marks). Follow the yellow marks on your way back to Kvilda.
