The Boubín (German Kubany , older also Kubang ) is a 1362 m high mountain in the Czech Republic . It is located 14 kilometers west of Prachatice in the Bohemian Forest .
Location and surroundings
The Boubín is the highest peak of the Bohemian Forest away from the main mountain ridge. Together with the 1264 m high Bobík , it forms a mighty massif that dominates the eastern Bohemian Forest foothills. The northern flank drains to the Volyňka and over the Cikánský potok to the Blanice , the southern flank to the Vltava . At the foot of the Boubín are the places Kubova Huť , Horní Vltavice , Buk pod Boubínem , Šumavské Hoštice and Záblatí .
jungle
The Boubínský prales (Kubany Primeval Forest) reserve is located in the Boubín massif . It extends on the southern slope over an area of 666 ha at an altitude of 940 to 1120 m. As early as 1858, the then chief forester Joseph John managed to have the so-called Jungfrauwald put under protection by Prince Johann Adolf II zu Schwarzenberg . This makes the Boubín Primeval Forest the third oldest nature reserve in the Czech Republic. Here you can find the best-preserved parts of the original mixed mountain forest in the Bohemian Forest, in particular old spruce and fir stands with unusual growth characteristics. Some trees are 300 to 400 years old. The "Fichtenkönig" fell victim to a storm in 1970 at the age of 440; he was 57 m high and had a circumference of 5.08 m. One of the rare mushrooms in the Boubín jungle is the Bohemian forest lory (Pseudorhizina sphaerospora) , which is only known from three localities in the Czech Republic.
Starting from the small reservoir Boubínské jezirko (Cuban wave) , a 3.8 km long nature trail leads around the fenced core area of the primeval forest.
Observation tower
Since the spring of 2005 there has been a lookout tower on the Boubíngipfel . The 21 meter high wooden tower can be climbed on 109 steps. The platform offers a wide view of the eastern Bohemian Forest.
