Modrava

Tucked into the Šumava Mountains near the German border, Modrava is a place whose character is shaped by high-elevation peat bogs and the cold headwaters of the Vydra. The river begins in the settlement where the Modravský and Roklanský streams meet, then continues through the forests and wetlands of Šumava National Park. Foot and cycle routes make Modrava a useful base for exploring the surrounding uplands, where visitor access is managed to protect sensitive habitats. Nearby, the Vchynsko-Tetovský Canal, built around the turn of the 19th century, recalls the period when Šumava timber was floated through this rugged country.
