A piece of Šumava

You are not buying a building. You are buying a place.

The greatest luxury in the mountains is a place of your own. An address you return to in winter for cross-country skiing, in summer for cycling – and in autumn simply because it feels right.

The house stands in the centre of Kvilda, one of the highest villages in the Czech Republic – close to Modrava, the source of the Vltava and just a few kilometres from Germany's Bavarian Forest National Park. It is up and running: guest accommodation, an established café, garage and cellars.

You are not paying for someone else's new-build design. You get generous space, solid foundations and the freedom to decide what the house becomes. Leave it as it is. Or make it entirely your own.

Bike. Skis. Forest. Coffee. Home.

Kvildy Café

A few steps down. And you are in your own café.

Kvildy Café is not a side room. It is an established brand, designed by architect Jaroslav Šusta Jr. – with materials that belong to Šumava.

A bar of Blatná granite, deeply brushed oak cladding, a tiled stove and walls of birch burl in coffered panels. A marine aquarium links the café and the lounge; the terrace has historic granite paving and a brass sculpture by sculptor Martin Ceplecha.

The tables were made to measure from approx. 300-year-old oak, others from solid walnut. Professional catering equipment – Astoria Storm, Winterhalter, Redfox and more – is available by agreement.

Mountain Base

Garage and cellar as your base camp.

In the mountains you don't live in the living room, you live outdoors. That's why the house has room for bikes, cross-country skis, wet boots and the whole group after a day out.

Warm by wood

Heat from wood. Systems built for the mountains.

The building services are simple and robust – exactly what the mountains call for.

Why heat with wood

  • Independent of gas

    The house has no gas connection and doesn't depend on gas prices. One central boiler heats the whole house.

  • Locally sourced fuel

    Firewood is easy to come by in Šumava and is among the most affordable fuels. The fuel store on the lower ground floor holds your supply.

  • Renewable source

    A wood-gasification boiler burns wood with high efficiency and low emissions.

  • Warmth you can feel

    A tiled stove as a second heat source – and the spot everyone lingers by in the mountains.

DEBavarian Forest next door

Kvilda lies on the high plateaus of Šumava, where the Vltava rises and winter can still be winter. Modrava is next door, the Bavarian Forest just over the hill.

Peat bogs, mountain meadows, deep spruce forests and hundreds of kilometres of trails for walkers, cyclists and cross-country skiers. In summer you set off from here to the source of the Vltava or to Březník; in winter you clip into your skis almost at the door.

The region is cross-border: Šumava National Park and Bavarian Forest National Park together form one of the largest continuous forests in Central Europe – about 2.5 hours from Prague and within easy reach of Munich and Vienna airports.

When the snow melts, the gravel begins.

The bogs wake up, the trails dry out and the first gravel rides lead through forests still holding the last of the snow.
