The National Park Šumava was established in one of the part of the Protected Landscape Area Šumava in March 1991. It was founded for maintaining and improving the environment and for the protection and renewal of the functions of primary natural systems.
The National Park begins near the town Železná Ruda and includes Šumavské Pláně (Bohemian Forest's Plains). It then stretches along the Vltava river and Czech-Germany border to the small village Nová Pec, which lies at the beginning of the Lipno Dam. It also includes the highest peak of the Czech part of the Šumava mountains, Plechý mountain. Its area is 69,030 ha and it is the largest national park in Central Europe. The altitude of the national park is in range from 600 m (the valley of the Otava river near the small village Rejštejn) to 1,378 m (the top of Plechý mountain).
A lot of small protected areas with places of the geological and geomorphological interest are in the national park: Chalupská Slať peat-bog (Crip Fen), Buková Slať peat-bog (Beechen Fen), Modravské Slatě peat-bogs (Modrava Fens), prehistoric hillfort Obří Hrad, protected area with nature trail Povydří (Vydra Valley), Malá Niva peat-bog (Small Floodplain), Prameny Vltavy (Springs of the Vltava river), Stožec hill, nature reserve Trojmezná Hora, Tetřevská Slať (Capercaillie Fen) and many more.
The whole park is interlaced by the web of tourist trails, bike trails and paths for cross-country skiing. They are well marked both in the country and on maps and they lead to some of the most gorgeous places of Šumava.
About 60 boating trails, mainly on the Otava and Vltava rivers, have good conditions for canoeing. The Otava river is navigable between villages Čeňkova Pila and Rejštejn in summertime. The Vltava river is passable between villages Borová Lada - Lenora in spring and in the part Lenora - Soumarský most - Nová Pec in summer.
Visitors can use many instructional trails available throughout the Protected Landscape Area and National Park Šumava. The most well-known are nature trail Medvědí Stezka (Bear Path), the nature trail in the protected peat-bog Chalupská Slať (Crip Fen), the nature trail in the Boubínský Prales (Boubín Forest) on Boubín mountain, the instructive trail Churáňov around the top of Churáňov mountain, the nature trail in Povydří (Vydra Valley) along the Vydra river, the nature trail on the Hamižná Hora (Greedy Hill), etc.
In December 1963 part of the Šumava mountains (Bohemian Forest) with its interesting natural features and untouched surroundings was declared the Protected Landscape Area Šumava. It was one of the largest protected areas in Czechoslovakia at that time (1,630 square km). After the establishment of the National Park Šumava the area of the Protected Landscape Area Šumava was reduced to 1,003 square km.
The area of the Protected Landscape Area Šumava stretches from the town Nýrsko (on the west) to the village Frymburk (on the east). Most of the significant and valuable nature interests of the original protected landscape area were included in the Zone I (most protected) of the new National Park Šumava. Well known and famous nature interests of the Protected Landscape Area Šumava are nature reserve Boubínský Prales (Boubín Forest), nature reserve Bílá Strž (White Flume) with the only waterfall in the Šumava mountains, nature reserve Černé a Čertovo Jezero (Black and Devil's Lakes), instructive trail Hamižná Hora (Greedy Hill), nature reserve Milešický Prales (Milešice Forest), etc.
