The rounded hills of the Šumava National Park offer an ideal vantage point for distant views of the surrounding countryside. One of the most beautiful vistas of the Šumava landscape awaits you from the look-out tower atop mountain Poledník (Meridian), from which the entire mountain ranges opens up before you. In good visibility you can even see as far as the distant Alps from the look-out towers on the Boubín and Javorník mountains.
