About This Route

A deep journey into the 'Green Roof of Europe'. This route leads through the Šumava National Park, one of the largest continuous forest areas in Central Europe. You'll drive through dense spruce forests, past glacial lakes like Černé jezero, and along the cold Vltava river. The terrain is hilly and mountainous, typical for Central European highlands, but beautifully paved and perfect for a slow, oxygen-rich cruising experience.
