Cikánská slať, Fen in Modrava, Czech Republic
Cikánská slať is a wetland near Modrava that spreads across a large area at about 1100 meters elevation and contains small ponds along with deep layers of peat. The vegetation consists of mosses, grasses, and specialized plant species that are typical of this habitat.
The wetland was drained in earlier centuries, which altered its original structure. Today restoration projects work to return water levels to their natural state.
The wetland holds rare plant species like round-leaved sundew and cotton grass that thrive in its wet conditions. These plants form part of the natural heritage of Šumava National Park and reflect the ecological diversity of the bog.
The wetland is reached via a marked trail connecting Modrava to Březník that allows exploration on foot. In winter, visitors can traverse the area using snowshoes.
The wetland feeds a stream that flows into the local water systems and shapes the surrounding area. This water source holds importance for the ecosystem of the wider region.
