This attractive region is much sought after for its beauty and the variety of its attractions, which include recreation, relaxation, education, sports and entertainment, cultural and social events. The mountain range along the south-east border of the Czech Republic represents the largest nature park in Central Europe.

The main attractions include the Boubín primeval forest at the south-east slope of Boubín Mountain and the glacial lakes of Laka, Plešné Lake under Plechý Mountain, the Black and Devil’s Lakes near Železná Ruda or Prášil Lake near Prášily. The town of Český Krumlov, whose historical center, castle and chateau have been registered in the UNESCO World Heritage List, is the chief architectural gem of the region.
The charming towns of Prachatice, Kašperské Hory, Sušice, Volary, Vimperk, Horažďovice and Klatovy, the castles and chateaus of Kašperk, Klenová, Rabí, Rožmberk, Švihov and Velhartice, monasteries in Vyšší Brod and Zlatá Koruna, the chateau in Horšovský Týn or the town of Domažlice all deserve their share of attention.

There are many breathtaking natural scenes to see – lakes in the midst of deep forests, mysterious bogs, towers with long vistas and countless other interesting places. If you enjoy sightseeing, you can visit castles, chateaus, ruins, museum, interesting churches and monasteries or technical monuments. You can also look around the landscape from a wide range of observation towers. At the same time, Šumava is mainly a place where you can rest and relax. To learn more about Bohemian nature and its heritage, you can hike or cycle along a dense network of marked hiking and cycling trails, cross-country skiing tracks and canoeing routes.
