Volary, Mountain municipality in Prachatice District, Czech Republic.
Situated at 760 meters above sea level, Volary extends across 107 square kilometers of diverse landscapes near the German border in South Bohemia.
Founded during the 13th century colonization of the Bohemian Forest, Volary became a central point along the Golden Trail between Passau and Prachatice.
The northern section contains traditional Alpine-style timber houses that represent the architectural techniques of early German settlers from Bavaria.
The town provides accommodation in Hotel Chata and Městský hotel Bobík, with convenient access to Šumava National Park for nature activities.
The town square layout still reflects the original path of the Golden Trail, where numerous inns served merchants during the 16th century.
