Bohemian Forest

It is impossible not to love Bohemian Forest. After the very first hike up the wooded hills, a walk around the wild rapids of the Vydra River, a look across the glacial lakes and a view of the peaks of the Alps, one is lost forever. And for the faithful, Modrava, the mysterious moors and the true wilderness of the national park open up.

Where to?

Koráb Uplands

Koráb Uplands form a kind of a divide between Bohemian and Upper Palatinate Forests. Compared to the more famous mountains, it remains an almost unknown geomorphological formation, but for enthusiastic hikers looking for lesser-known routes with a touch of history, it is an ideal trip destination not only for a Saturday.

Wolf Spotting in Srní

Come to Bohemian Forest to spot wolves! The Srní Visitor Centre with an exhibition dedicated to the beasts of prey can be found in Bohemian Forest between Srní and Rokyta. You can also take a beautiful walk in the three-hectare enclosure.

The Otter at Turner’s Cabin

When strolling around Bohemian Forest, do stop at the stylish Turner’s Log Cabin. It is the only accessible cabin in the first (strictest) zone of the Bohemian Forest National Park on the bank of the Vydra (Otter) River between Antýgl and Čeňkova Pila.

Čertovo jezero (Devil’s Lake)

Čertovo, Černé and Laka Lakes, the most famous trio of lakes in the whole region of Bohemian Forest, together form the National Nature Reserve. And why Čertovo Lake? An old legend has it that the devil himself was behind the creation of this lake.

Černé jezero (Black Lake)

As the name suggests, the largest lake in Bohemian Forest attracts tourists mainly because of its dark, almost black colour. This natural phenomenon is, however, only a reflection of the surrounding dense forests, which are mirrored on the water surface.

Trip around Bohemian Forest Lakes

Bohemian Forest is our only real lake area. On the Czech side, you can see five of these remnants of glacial thaw from the Quaternary period, which are now a very popular tourist attraction.

Lake Laka

Lake Laka is the smallest and shallowest of the eight lakes of glacial origin in Bohemian Forest. It is distinguished mainly by its floating islands that rise above the surface and it is also the highest-situated lake in Bohemian Forest.

The Hydroelectric Power Plant Čeňkova pila

A national technical monument in the middle of the Bohemian Forest countryside? This is the popular Hydroelectric Power Plant Čeňkova pila, whose well-preserved interior is accessible during guided tours. Be sure to drop in when you drive by.
