Fab Fact: At almost 700sq km (the
size of an average wolf territory in Sweden...) The Czech Republic's Šumava National Park is often called the “Green Roof of Europe”. After decades of absence due to persecution by man, the park now sees lynx and bears returning to their old realms. Another fine example of Europe's unknown wildlife comeback! | |||||
