Milešický prales, Nature reserve in Šumava region, Czech Republic.

The forest reserve spans 10 hectares of land containing beech, sycamore, fir, and spruce trees reaching heights of over 30 meters.

The Czech government established Milešický prales as a protected natural area on January 23, 1948, initiating formal conservation efforts in the region.

The forest functions as an outdoor research laboratory where scientists study ecological processes and document the natural regeneration of Central European woodlands.

Visitors can access the reserve through marked hiking trails starting from Vimperk at 15 kilometers distance or Volary at 12 kilometers distance.

Two-thirds of the reserve contains fallen trunks and decaying wood, creating essential habitats for rare woodpeckers and specialized moss species.
