The Šumava is full of trails that will take you deep into the forests, up to the mountain ridges, to engineering monuments and to places where history was made. From Železná Ruda, you can set off on either a shorter, leisurely circular walk or a full-day hike with a significant elevation gain. And thanks to the proximity of the German border, you can also explore the Bavarian side of the Šumava. You can get closer to the peaks using cable cars and certain public transport services. We’ll be happy to provide you with detailed maps, descriptions of individual routes and other tips at reception.
