"There is no more beautiful beauty of the Šumava at the end of the late summer. Weather permanently, air clean, not inferently moist like others. Grass beeted, green and jaundy at the same time, the cobwebs of her sparkling glossy, as if they were made of pure silver. Glass forests, Densely, into disrepair, black, they are closer to the eye, bloom in the distance, buy in the brightness of the sunny, which is a familiar lightweight, fluttering veil.

The shades of soft, barely noticeable, there is a steep opposite of glittering light and deep shadows, brightness and gloom, day and night, all next to each other, all in one blends, again breaks up and again. - where nature into the dark green bores strapped leafy trees, beeches, birch, maples, there flakes the forest in beauty unspeakably colorful. Beech leaves are held by all shades of red, ore, fiery, Nachov burns; It seems that the old Cauctenic strains roses grow up; White birch silver lines marshes, on which the blue green cage grows, and sparks shiny stripes and crashes on the rocky bundle, gray boulders; Yolting in all shades of broad maple leaves completes this diversity ..."
