Black Lake (Černé jezero in Czech) is the largest and deepest glacial lake in Šumava. It is located at an altitude of 1,008 metres and is surrounded by dense forests and steep slopes of Jezerná hora. The lake got its name because of the dark colour of the water, which is caused by the reflection of the surrounding forests and the deep sediment at the bottom. Black Lake is also an important ecological area where rare species of plants and animals can be found. Its uniqueness makes it part of a protected nature reserve.
There is also a hydroelectric power plant nearby that uses the lake as part of its system. This contrast of natural beauty and human intervention makes the Black Lake an interesting destination not only for nature lovers. During our visit, the lake was completely shrouded in darkness, which gave its name and the general environment in the forests an incredibly dark but beautiful atmosphere. The easiest way to get to the Black Lake is from Špičáký sedlo, where there is also a paid parking lot. From the car park it is about 3.5 kilometres to the lake along the Špičák – Černé jezero nature trail.
