Karl Klostermann's House

Although Karel Klostermann's mother tongue was German, Karel Klostermann became one of the most popular Czech writers of the 19th century to this day. He created an image of Šumava that deeply impressed the Czech audience in particular – a vision of a dying forest paradise from which he had to leave – just like almost all German inhabitants of Šumava many years later. His vision of Šumava resonates to this day and, among other things, led to the development of tourism in Šumava, similarly to how it was reflected in the establishment of the Šumava National Park.

​

The village of Srní is crowning the twenty-five years of efforts of the Karel Klostermann Association with the establishment of the Karel Klostermann House with an interactive exhibition based on Klostermann's knowledge and interpretation of Šumava and a poetic installation depicting key images from Klostermann's novels.
