Medvědí stezka winds through Šumava peatland around Jelení jezírko — boardwalks, dark bog water and dense spruce create moody reflections, misty mornings and vivid autumn colours. Best at sunrise or just after rain for low mist and glassy reflections; winter brings snow-blanketed minimalism. Trail is accessible from Stožec (small parking at trailhead), no entry fee but obey national park rules and stay on boardwalks. Expect narrow paths and limited facilities.
