Nyrsko

Few towns in the Plzeň Region have a history as closely tied to spectacle making as Nýrsko. Set on the Úhlava River in the foothills of Šumava and close to the Bavarian frontier, it occupies a borderland shaped by forest, water and cross-border connections. The town’s modern identity remains associated with eyewear production: OKULA Nýrsko is an established Czech optical manufacturer. Upstream, the Nýrsko Reservoir impounds the Úhlava and serves as an important source of drinking water for the region. Nýrsko provides a useful introduction to the quieter inland side of Šumava, away from its better-known mountain resorts.
