history
Since the middle of the 14th century, an important trade route between Bohemia and Bavaria led through the primeval forest on the Planie with the Bergreichensteiner Steig . It later lost its importance and was abandoned in the 17th century in favor of other routes on the Goldener Steig.
Buchwald probably originated in 1770 as a settlement for woodcutters. The first documentary mention of the 13 properties belonging to the Groß-Zdikau estate was in 1790. Johann Freiherr von Malowitz had the Groß-Zdikau estate separated from the Malowetz von Cheynow family entourage and alloded; he sold it in 1799 to Franz Graf von und zu Sickingen . He sold the estate in 1803 to Colonel Jakob Freiherr von Wimmer. The Wimmerschen heirs sold Zdíkov in 1822 to Count Ferdinand Palffy von Erdöd. From this, the Prague citizen Jakob Wimmer bought the estate in 1829. Ferdinand Ritter bought it from Bishop in 1837. In 1840 Buchwald consisted of 17 houses with 140 German-speaking residents. In the village there was a hunter's house, an inn and a mill on the side of the Teufelsbach. The settlement of Hüttel, located south of the Teufelsbach valley and consisting of five farmhouses, a mill and a border guard barracks, belonged to Buchwald. The parish was Aussergefild . Until the middle of the 19th century the place was Amtsdorf of the allodial estate Groß-Zdikau.
After the abolition of patrimonial formed Buchenwald / Bučina 1850 with the hamlet Hüttel a municipality in the district administration Prachatice . In 1890 the village had grown to 30 and had 466 inhabitants.
After the Munich Agreement , Buchwald was added to the German Reich in 1938 as part of the Prachatitz district. In 1930 there were 347 people living in the community, in 1939 there were only 320, including 29 Czechs. Buchwald consisted of 26 houses along the road that leads from Finsterau via Buchwald to Aussergefild. The districts Hüttl with 11 houses and Mühlreuterhäuser - called Froschau - with 10 houses also belonged to the community. After the end of World War II, Buchwald came back to Czechoslovakia and the German residents were expelled . The area along the border was declared a military exclusion zone and no longer populated, causing the houses in Bučina to deteriorate. After the Iron Curtain was erected during the Cold War, the village was demolished in 1956. A hotel that was used as a barracks and the chapel have been preserved.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, Bučina experienced an upswing thanks to hikers. This revitalization led to the reconstruction of the Pešlova chata as a hotel (now "Alpská Vyhlídka"). The two national parks Bohemian Forest and Bavarian Forest , as well as the districts involved in them, developed this area with their respective bus systems, the "Igel-Bus" from the German side, which with a line from the direction of Spiegelau to the border directly near Bučina moves. A ČSAD “green bus” line runs between Horská Kvilda and Kvilda-Bučina, a stop 800 m from Bučina.
