Šumava
The Šumava is a region where untamed nature meets the stories of ancient towns, Šumava villages, and time-honored traditions. The “Šumava Lives” destination encompasses western Šumava and its foothills—from the Klatovy region through the Železná Ruda, Sušice, and Kašperské Hory regions all the way to Srní. Here you’ll find deep forests, mountain ridges, glacial lakes, river valleys, scenic viewpoints, and historical sites that reflect the region’s rich history. In summer, the area is perfect for hiking, cycling, and family adventures; in winter, it’s ideal for downhill and cross-country skiing, as well as peaceful walks through the snow-covered landscape. Add to that castles, museums, traditional crafts, regional cuisine, and the proximity of the Bavarian Forest. Families with children, athletes, history buffs, and those seeking peace and authentic places will all find something to enjoy. Šumava žije is a destination for both active vacations and true relaxation—for everyone who wants to get to know the landscape, its people, and its atmosphere without rushing.
