Poslední vlk v Čechách, Memorial stele in Šumava National Park, Czech Republic
The stone memorial marks the location where the last wolf in Bohemia was shot on December 2, 1874, near Vimperk Forest District.
After centuries of systematic hunting across Bohemia, the wolf population declined until the final specimen was killed by builder Jan Štěrbík.
The memorial represents the transformation of Czech attitudes toward wolves, from feared predators in medieval times to protected species today.
Visitors can reach the memorial by following a marked path branching from the red tourist trail between Kubova Huť and Borová Lada.
The wolf measured 154 centimeters in length and 80 centimeters in height, and its preserved body remains at Ohrada Hunting Castle Museum.
