National park Šumava
The National Park Šumava was established in one of the part
of the Protected Landscape Area Šumava in March 1991. It was founded
for maintaining and improving the environment and for the protection
and renewal of the functions of primary natural systems.
The National Park begins near the town Železná Ruda and includes Šumavské Pláně (Bohemian Forest's Plains). It then stretches along the Vltava river and Czech-Germany border to the small village Nová Pec, which lies at the beginning of the Lipno Dam. It also includes the highest peak of the Czech part of the Šumava mountains, Plechý mountain. Its area is 69,030 ha and it is the largest national park
in Central Europe. The altitude of the national park is in range from
600 m (the valley of the Otava river near the small village Rejštejn) to 1,378 m a.s.l. (the top of Plechý mountain).
