Borova Lada

Borová Lada lies along the Teplá Vltava in the Bohemian Forest, amid peat bogs, spruce woodland and open upland clearings within Šumava National Park. The river is one of the Vltava’s headwaters, and the settlement sits in a landscape shaped by wet meadows and long, snowy winters. Nearby Chalupská slať protects a raised bog with the Czech Republic’s largest peat lake; a boardwalk allows visitors to approach this sensitive habitat carefully. Borová Lada’s past is tied to Šumava glassmaking and forestry, industries that once supported small settlements across these border mountains. Today it is a useful base for hiking and cross-country skiing in the park. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Šumava connects regionally.
