Water & Šumava lakes
Čertovo jezero
Autem 110 min
The glacial lake below Špičák makes most sense together with Černé jezero, but the connecting ridge is steep and stony — a comfortable lake walk becomes a proper mountain route.
Čertovo jezero lies only a few kilometres from Černé jezero but is not "the second lake around the corner" on the same easy path. The regional site gives direct access from Špičák about 2.5 km; linking both lakes means steep climb and descent. Both can fit in one day with good boots and appetite for mountain terrain. 🔴 The whole area is protected and movement off marked paths is forbidden.
