It is elongated east–west with a narrowed middle, covers 102.01 ha, reaches a depth of up to 620 cm and holds an estimated 1,341,000 m³ of peat. The Cikánský potůček, a left tributary of the Modravský potok, rises here.

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 bog's plant cover includes round-leaved sundew, a carnivorous species, alongside cotton grass, common heather, bog bilberry, cranberry and sedges. Dwarf pine here is the hybrid Pinus mugo x pseudopumilio, and spruce dominates most of the 102.01 ha surface.
