Srni: Srní - pohled ke Starému Srní
Few places in the Šumava Mountains have a history as closely tied to forestry as Srní. The settlement developed in a region long shaped by timber work and lies today within Šumava National Park. Meadows, spruce forests and rounded hills surround the village above the Vydra River valley, creating a characteristic pattern of open land and dense woodland. The Church of the Holy Trinity, built at the beginning of the 19th century, is Srní’s principal historic landmark. This quiet part of southwestern Czechia is well placed for walks through the park’s extensive forests and for discovering the rural character of the Bohemian Forest.

Srní is best known within Czechia for the wolf enclosure at the Šumava National Park visitor centre. The village stands in the Šumava Mountains, close to the Vydra River valley, amid spruce forests and peatlands typical of this protected borderland. Nearby, the Vchynsko-Tetovský Canal is a late-18th-century engineering work designed by Josef Rosenauer to float timber from Šumava forests into the Vltava river system. Srní’s early-19th-century Church of the Holy Trinity is a local landmark. Hiking routes and cycle paths lead out into the national park’s forest country.

The river valleys of western Bohemia define much of Plzeň Region, supporting agriculture, linking historic towns and carrying the Mže, Radbuza, Úhlava and Úslava toward Plzeň. In the city, the Mže and Radbuza form the Berounka, while wooded highlands extend west toward the Bohemian Forest and south toward Šumava. Plzeň is the regional centre and the home of Pilsner Urquell: the beer was first brewed here in 1842 and gave its name to the pilsner style. Its centre is marked by the Gothic Cathedral of St Bartholomew and the Great Synagogue. Beyond the city, smaller towns, castles and rural roads give the region a distinct western-Bohemian character.

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.
