Hi everyone
In 1991, a large part of the Sumava mountain range situated along the SW frontier of the Czech Republic with Germany and Austria, was decreed a National Park, considered the highest legal measure of natural protection in our country.
Covering an area of 69 030 hectares, the Sumava NP is the largest among the three national parks in the Czech Republic. Nevertheless, together with the area of 13 000 hectares of the neighbouring Bavarian Forest NP (since 1970) the Sumava NP covers only about 1/3 of the total area of the Sumava Mountains and the Bavarian Forest, forming together the largest forest complex in Central Europe.
Due to its situation within densely populated Central Europe, to its relatively high wild - life conservation, and to rich water resources, the Sumava NP is often referred to as the "Green Roof of Europe", the international significance of which is ever-increasing.
From the first proposals for protecting Sumava as a natural park in 1911, followed by prof. Komárek s appeal in 1946, and by other attempts in 1968 - 1969, and later in the 80s it took a long time to achieve the establishment of the Sumava NP. At that time only particular measures dealing with the protection of individual areas as natural reserves meant the first stage for the establishment of the largest Protected Landscape Area in the then Czechoslovakia (1963 - Protected Landscape Sumava covering 163 000 ha).
The Sumava NP includes most of highly valuable natural phenomena of the Sumava mountains requiring strict protection such as glacial lakes, mountain and valley undulating grounds or remnants of primeval forests. At the same time, one of its major features is nearly omnipresent permeation of this barely touched "virgin nature" with traces of centruries of presence of man. It lends specific charm and unusual mysterious to this sparcely populated area.
The desire to learn both nature and history, to get familiar with vast areas of the National Park, as well as the National Park orientation aiming at the realisation of cognitive and relaxing activities give evidence of "human" dimension in the Sumava NP. It is to the benefit of its permanent inhabitants, but also to visitors of the National Park.
Sumava is gread places for your trip in Czech.:o) |

Excellent photo Libor. The colors are stunning, the composition is great and the details are sharp. I think I would have left some more space in the top of the photo, but that's my only nit. Well done & TFS!
Regards,
Pieter
