At the top of Pancíř, at an altitude of 1,214 metres above sea level, there is an open door to the Šumava countryside. Literally. The frame together with the wooden door was placed on Pancíř by the We Love Šumava association, which always clears it to “safety” with the first snow and returns it at the beginning of the spring season.

From the door, as from the whole Pancír, you can see the surrounding countryside and if you are a bit luckier than we were, you can see far into the Šumava. However, be aware that especially on weekends or public holidays it is a very popular place where you are likely to meet many other visitors. The place is also very easy to reach, either on foot or by monorail.

There is also a cottage and lookout tower Pancíř near the door, where you can not only eat, but also stay.

TIP: Right by the door there is a kind of natural tripod, simply a stick of wood, which you can use as a phone holder during a group photo.

Add this place to your trip. It is part of these itineraries.
