Borova Lada: Šumava National Park
Borová Lada lies along the Teplá Vltava in the Šumava Mountains, where a compact settlement meets extensive conifer woodland and gently rising ridges. It stands within Šumava National Park, established in 1991 to protect a large part of this borderland between Czechia, Germany and Austria. Peat bogs, forest streams and a sparse pattern of small communities shape the surrounding highland. The Teplá Vltava is one of the Vltava’s headwaters, linking Borová Lada to a wider river landscape. The village is a useful base for exploring the park’s marked walking and cycling routes.

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.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
