Stachy: Zadov, U hořejšů
Tucked into the forested uplands of the Šumava Mountains, Zadov near Stachy is a place whose character is shaped by open slopes amid extensive spruce woods. This small mountain settlement is home to Ski Zadov, with downhill runs and facilities for cross-country skiing; the neighbouring Churáňov area forms part of the same highland setting. The wider Šumava region is defined by broad ridges, peatlands and managed forest rather than dramatic alpine relief. Its human story is closely tied to centuries of forestry and glassmaking, industries that shaped settlements across this Czech borderland. Zadov is an accessible South Bohemian base where recreation remains closely connected to upland meadows and working woodland.
