Rosenauers Schwemmkanäle

Die Geschichte der Schwemmkanäle ist gleichzeitig die Geschichte eines armen Jungen aus dem Böhmerwald-Vorland, geboren 1735 in der Schwarzenberger Herrschaft, völlig ohne Aussichten, weil er ein uneheliches Kind war. Und trotzdem, als hätten sich die guten Schicksalsgöttinnen an diesem Tage gerade eben in das Häuschen in Chvalšiny verlaufen und dem Kind königliche Geschenke in die Wiege gelegt: Talent, Zähe und Mut…

Auf dem Bärenpfad

Obwohl durch den Böhmerwald Dutzende verschiedenste Wege, Pfade, Stege und Steige führen, bleibt der älteste Böhmerwälder Pfad immer einer der schönsten. Er wurde schon im Jahre 1967 errichtet und ist 14 Kilometer lang. Auch zum Zeitpunkt seiner Markierung war er aber nicht ganz neu, da er teilweise alte, bereits in vergangenen Jahrhunderten von Jägern ausgetretene, Jägersteige kopiert…

Šumava plains

A here and there undulated landscape, almost completely hidden in mountain forests – these are the famous Šumava plains.

These plateaux form a more or less flat ridge spreading along the borderline, characteristic for the major part of the central Šumava Mountains…

Šumava Ark

Resembling to the biblical arch, the green Šumava is floating on the territory of three states as the largest forested area in Central Europe. It has been refuge of both Czechs and Germans, of bears, wolves and deer, of mountain cocks and eagles, spruces, firs, gentians, soldanellas and thousands of other more or less known creatures of God to which it has become home and to many of them even the last refuge from the turmoil of civilization. Two connected national parks on both Šumava´s slopes, on the Czech side enlarged by the belt of the protected landscape area, form one of the largest protected areas within the densely populated Europe…

Going to Volary via Vimperk and Kubova Huť

You can come to Volary by train either from České Budějovice or from Číčenice or Strakonice. But only a short segment Černý Kříž-Nové Údolí remained from the fourth railway from Waldkirchen and Haidmühle in Bavaria. We will now follow the 71 km long way from Strakonice passing through the highest situated railway station in the Czech Republic – Kubova Huť at an altitude of 995 m…
