Hike through the cultural landscape between Bučina and Knižecí Pláně in Šumava National Park

On the circular route ‘Trauermantel’ (Camberwell Beauty butterfly), we start at the Buchwald/Bučina border crossing and venture into Šumava National Park. Along the way, we discover many traces of the rich history of this border region, including reconstructed border installations, as well as in Fürstenhut/Knižecí Pláně, the rebuilt cemetery, remnants of the church, and the war memorial of the destroyed village. The open landscape with pastures, stone walls, and groups of trees holds its own special charm.
