About the information center
The display area of the Kvilda Visitor Centre is dedicated to mountain forests. It presents two elementary principles of taking care of the forest in Šumava National Park: intervention and non-intervention.
Both of the principles are presented through large-format photographs, complete with interactive elements, animal models and stuffed animals.
The same topic is covered in ‘A Day in the Mountain Forest’ – a 3D movie.
Other films shown in the visitor projection room add information about the natural conditions of Šumava.
Both the ground floor and first floor have public toilets available and are wheelchair accessible.
