About location

The Šumava foothills define the setting of Nicov — meadows, mixed woodland and rounded ridges give this small settlement a distinctly rural mountain character. The village lies near the Otava valley, in country long associated with the gold-mining past of Kašperské Hory and historic routes across the Bohemian Forest. Nicov’s Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary is among the area’s notable medieval monuments, preserving Romanesque origins alongside later Gothic alterations. Fields and pastures break up the forest cover, giving the upland terrain a more open character than the deeper Šumava woods. Nicov remains a settled working landscape well suited to unhurried exploration on foot.
