Horska Kvilda

Horská Kvilda stretches across a high plateau in the Šumava Mountains of the Plzeň Region, and its elevated setting has long made it a settlement shaped by forests, peatlands and severe winters. The village lies near the upper course of the Teplá Vltava, one of the rivers that forms the Vltava system. Horská Kvilda developed around glassmaking in the late 18th century, a trade once closely linked to Šumava’s timber resources. Today it is a small, year-round base for walking, cross-country skiing and exploring the protected Šumava landscape.
