Modravské slatě, Natural monument in Modrava, Czech Republic

The Modravské slatě contains extensive peat bogs and wetlands spread across 2000 hectares within the Šumava National Park boundaries.

The wetland formation began during the last ice age between 8,000 and 10,000 years ago, creating deep layers of peat deposits.

The Ministry of Culture of Czechoslovakia declared Modravské slatě as a protected area on December 28, 1989, recognizing its environmental importance.

Visitors need waterproof hiking boots to navigate the marshy terrain, and access to certain areas requires advance permission from park authorities.

The area contains numerous structured peat bogs with small lakes and provides habitat for endangered species like western capercaillie and Eurasian lynx.
