Warerfall Bílá Strž, Bohemian Forrest

This is a waterfall on Bílý potok (=White creek) in Bílá Strž (=White gorge) in Šumava (=Bohemian forrest) near border with Germany. The creek descends from ca. 1.000 to 700 metres altitude, the waterfall is in ca. 940 metres and it is the most dramatic part of the gorge. It is a cascade of 13 metres and 7 metres jump over a muscovite rock. Muscovite or mica or isinglass was used as a window slide alternative to glass in medieval Russia, hence the name coming from Moscow.
There is an old-growth forrest around the gorge with spruce (some are 250 years old), fir and sorbus. There is a nice scenic trail in the gorge.

Avenue Pallova 28

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice a modern property. Clean and spacious rooms. Excellent breakfast buffet. Located conveniently couple minutes walk from the historic city center and many great restaurants. We opted for the paid parking garage and it was great. Highly recommended this hotel."
