Čertovo jezero, in English Devil’s Lake, is located in Šumava at an altitude of 1,030 metres. Compared to the nearby Black Lake, it is slightly smaller, but no less mysterious. The lake is of glacial origin and its dark surface is surrounded by the steep slopes of Jezerní hora and dense spruce forests. A popular hiking trail leads directly to the lake, primarily from Černé jezero or Špičák. According to legend, the Devil’s Lake got its name because of the dark legends of devils that surround it. And we have to say that its surroundings are really mysterious.
The ecosystem around the lake is unique and protected, which makes it an important place for the biodiversity of Šumava. Like Černé jezero, Čertovo jezero is part of the region’s aquatic ecosystem and together they form one of the most beautiful natural areas in the Czech Republic. A trip to Čertovo jezero is a great choice for lovers of the Šumava wilderness who are looking for a connection with nature and peace from the busy world – especially during the off-peak season or on weekends, you will really enjoy the aforementioned peace and untouched nature.
