To the Sources of the Vltava River

The Vltava, the Czech national river, originates on the slopes of Černá hora at an altitude of 1,190 m. At first, it is called Černý potok (Black Stream), then from Borová Lada it becomes Teplá Vltava (Warm Vltava), and from the confluence with Studená Vltava (Cold Vltava) all the way to Mělník, it is simply called Vltava.

Punti di interesse sul percorso

The path to the Vltava source is mostly flat, but then the trail ascends to Bučina, from where you can see as far as the Alps.

Nothing remains of the original village, but here you will find a restored chapel, an authentic replica of the Iron Curtain near the Alpská vyhlídka hotel, and a comprehensive exhibition on the region in the Šumava and Bavarian Forest National Park information pavilion.
