Boubín, Mountain summit in Šumava National Park, Czech Republic.

Located at an elevation of 1,362 meters, Boubín stands among extensive forests of spruce and fir trees within the Šumava mountain range.

The mountain was a center of timber production until the 20th century, when conservation efforts shifted focus toward preserving the natural environment.

Local folklore includes numerous tales about forest spirits and mythical creatures that inhabit the dense woods surrounding Boubín mountain.

The summit features a 21-meter observation tower constructed in 2000, offering panoramic views that extend to the Alps during clear weather.

The surrounding Boubín Forest contains trees aged between 300 and 400 years, forming the largest indigenous forest in Central Europe.
