Protected areas of Šumava represent typical ecosystems of Central European mountainous landscapes, especially forests, glacial lakes, peat bogs, and alpine meadows, including all their developmental stages.
Šumava National Park ensures conservation of natural processes in accordance with the global mission of national parks, while providing sufficient space for active protection of species and genetic diversity.
Together with the Bavarian Forest National Park, it forms one of the most extensive and largest forest complexes in Central Europe. These forest ecosystems, preserved in this territory, must be viewed as a unique natural heritage and treated as such.
