The instructional trail Naše Rašeliniště (Our Peat-Bog) leads through formerly mined peat-bog Soumarský Most, in the area among the town Volary and the villages Lenora and Stožec, on the border of the National Park Šumava.
The trail acquaints visitors with the peat-bog, with its fauna and flora, and with ways of peat mining. The trail forms a part of the project "Revitalization of Peat-bog", which is carried out in the area where the mining was proceeded.
The trail is about 2.5 km long. The point of departure is on the forest road near the entrance to the car-camp Soumarský Most on the left bank of the Vltava river. The path runs through the large area of exposed peat-bog (about 1.5 km) and then it connects the green signed tourist path and returns back along this route to the car-camp.
On the trail there are 6 informative boards. About 7 m high observation tower on the hillock in the middle of the peat-bog offers nice views of the peat-bog and wide alluvial plains along the Vltava river.
