Historical Album of the Šumava
Discover the history of the Šumava.
Inseparable from the Šumava region are the vanished villages and the turbulent stories of their inhabitants. Over the centuries, humans gradually shaped the original wild nature into their own image. After the forced expulsion of the German population and the establishment of the “Iron Curtain” on our western border, the land was returned to nature. The result of this combination of cultural and natural landscape is now considered beautiful and unique. Who would think that houses once stood in the forests of Gsenget? Who today knows how people in Paště made their living? Was the dam of Plešné Lake really uninhabited? The "historical albums" bring the lives of settlers closer to visitors, right at authentic locations. The value of these images – in this case photographs – often speaks louder than a thousand words.
