Water & Šumava lakes
Prášilské jezero
Autem 90 min
Glacial lake reachable on a shorter eight-kilometre loop from Slunečná, or turn it into an active day with Poledník — the official long variant is 17.5 km and over five hours' walking.
Prášilské jezero suits guests who want more movement than at Černé jezero but can still choose length. The regional route from Slunečná car park is about 8 km; the last ~200 m to the lake is over large stones. Adding Poledník lookout, NP gives 17.5 km, about 5 h 30 min and high difficulty. 🔴 Some connecting sections have seasonal rules — check Poledník plans before leaving.
