Medvědí hora

Medvědí hora, Mountain summit in South Bohemia, Czech Republic.

Bärenberg (Medvědí hora) is a flat ridge reaching 1,225 m in the Modravské slatě mires of Šumava National Park, about 1.5 km from the Bavarian border. It has two summits 700 m apart, each with a small summit rock; the northern one (1,224 m) is the official summit and its rocks are called Židovské skály. The southern summit (1,225 m) is unmarked on most maps and carries a small memorial plaque.

After World War II, Medvědí hora lay in an inaccessible border zone, and the first line of the Iron Curtain ran north to south directly over its summit; the cleared strip where the barbed-wire fence stood is no longer visible. The summit and its surroundings now lie in the quiet zone of Šumava National Park and are closed to entry.

The two summit rocks of the northern peak are called Židovské skály (Jewish Rocks), and the spruce forest on the northern slopes is named Židovský les. A small memorial plaque stands on the rock of the southern summit, which most maps leave unmarked.

The summit and its surroundings lie in the quiet zone of Šumava National Park and are not accessible to hikers; the two summit rocks, 700 m apart, can only be viewed from outside this zone. The former north-south wire barrier of the Iron Curtain ran directly over the ridge, but its cleared strip is no longer visible in the terrain.

The summit lies in the quiet zone of Šumava National Park and is not accessible to hikers. A small memorial plaque stands on the summit rock of the unmarked southern peak, about 400 m northwest of Roklanská chata.
