Six days in South Bohemia: Šumava’s bogs and the source of the Vltava, the Lipno treetop walk and UNESCO-listed Český Krumlov.
The Bohemian Forest (Šumava), on the German and Austrian borders, is the largest Czech national park. Pupils discover high-altitude peat bogs from the boardwalks of Jezerní slať, then the source of the Vltava, the river that later flows through Český Krumlov and Prague. On the shore of the Lipno reservoir, the treetop walk lets them observe the forest from the inside and study the forest ecosystem. The tour ends in Český Krumlov, a UNESCO-listed medieval town nestled in a bend of the Vltava. This trip suits pupils from the last years of primary school to secondary school, for science, geography and environmental education.
