Welcome to our picture report and have a look on how one of the project sites looks in spring!
After hesitating a moment, spring finally came…
Spring does not come alone.
A big trace with claws – belongs to a wolf.
Snow melting begins around the trees and waters them with caution.
Yellow stakes mark permanent plots used for biomonitoring. In the diameter of 12, 5 meters, all trees are counted, dead wood is measured and vegetation data collection is provided regularly. There are hundreds of such plots established in the Šumava National Park.

The project site Hamerská slať was partly manually extracted and the peat was used as fuel or bedding material for animals. The difference of heights between the original ground and the extracted areas is up to 2 meters.
One of the omnipresent drainage ditches.
Polytrichum commune in the snow. A seta supports the capsule with spores and spreads the next generation of mosses to the wind.
Where do the stones in mires come from? These are not regular stones, but the auriferous ones. Gold was extracted from the Hamerský Stream and the stones are the remnants of placers gold.
There are no streams running out of raised bogs. The one in the picture should not be here, either. Only after peat mining did the stream appear. In the past, the mire grew over its spring area.

The running water finds its way easily in peat, soft and supple, and permanently, it goes and digs deeper…
The stream should not be here, but still it is magical in wintertime...
Spring 2020: Play of colours. When scattering pollen, the cottongrass is very assiduous.
He was there, sitting all around…a capercaillie.
The spring area of the stream, which is at the origin of this mire, never freezes over.
