Rokytská slať

Rokytská slať spans 104 hectares at 1100 meters elevation, containing 69 small ponds within its raised bog complex near the Roklanský stream.

During the 1920s, a tourist trail led to this area and continued to Mount Roklan, until the Iron Curtain installation divided the bog after World War II.

Scientists conduct research in this protected zone of Šumava National Park to study peatland dynamics and monitor specific dragonfly species found nowhere else.

The fen remains closed to public access as it lies within the first protection zone of Šumava National Park, preserving its natural environment.

The area contains Mrtvý les, a section with dead spruce trunks, and features frost-deformed trees surviving in harsh conditions.
