Šumava Region

The Alps amaze, Šumava soothes

Each of the two parts of the Šumava region is specific for something else. The South Bohemian Šumava mountains comprise an area filled with natural beauty of the Šumava National Park and Protected Landscape Area, which offer activities for hikers, active movers and lovers of intact wild country. The South Bohemian Šumava foothills comprise largely traditional rural areas with an agricultural tradition, production and offer of local products. Moreover, it is an area of interesting rural architecture, technical and historic sites, and a rich supply of traditional vernacular festivities and customs.
