Horská Kvilda: Hotels and Accommodations

Nature

Jezerní slať is a raised bog covering more than 200 hectares between Horská Kvilda and Kvilda. The starting point for the visitor trail to Jezerní slať is a small parking area on the Horská Kvilda–Kvilda road with an unpaved surface. A lookout tower at the entrance to Jezerní slať offers views of almost the entire bog.

Hiking

The Horská Kvilda–Kvilda footpath was opened in 2011 at the initiative of the two municipalities. For the most part, it follows the cross-country ski trail, with a few deviations. Wet sections of the footpath are crossed via boardwalks.

History and Townscape

The Zlatá stezka passed through Horská Kvilda. It was a medieval trade and salt route from Passau to Kašperské Hory; some sections are still visible, mostly as sunken lanes. Before the Second World War, the predominant building type in the original development of Horská Kvilda was the Šumava log cabin.

Cross-Country Skiing

When there is sufficient snow cover, the cross-country ski trails around Horská Kvilda are machine-groomed from December 15 to March 31. The cross-country ski trail system around Horská Kvilda is marked with wooden signposts bearing a skier symbol or with the standard KČT marking.
