Cikánská slať, Fen in Modrava, Czech Republic

The Cikánská slať extends over 102 hectares at an elevation of 1103 meters, featuring small ponds and peat deposits reaching depths of 620 centimeters.

The fen underwent drainage modifications during past centuries, leading to current restoration projects focused on returning water levels to their natural state.

The area contains protected plant species including round-leaved sundew, cotton grass, and sphagnum mosses, representing the natural heritage of Šumava National Park.

Visitors can access the fen through a marked green trail connecting Modrava to Březník, with winter access possible using snowshoes.

The site contains an estimated 1,341,000 cubic meters of peat and serves as the source of the Cikánský stream, a tributary of the Modrava watercourse.
