The Plešné jezero (formerly Czech Plekenštejnské jezero , German Plöckensteinsee or Plöckensteiner See ) is a glacial lake in the Bohemian Forest . It is located on Czech territory in the municipality of Nová Pec below the Plöckenstein at 1090 m above sea level. It was created by the consequences of glaciation in the Würme Ice Age , where a glacier left moraine walls up to forty meters high . It is the most extensive moraine landscape in the entire Bohemian Forest.

To support the rafting operations in the Schwarzenbergschen Schwemmkanal , the lake was dammed by two and a half meters between 1789 and 1793. In 1877, in memory of Adalbert Stifter , who with his story Der Hochwald created a literary monument for the Plöckensteinsee, a large granite obelisk was installed in the sea wall ( Adalbert Stifter monument ). Stifter also mentioned the lake in the story Granit .

Eastern Alps gentian , hermaphrodite crowberry and large-leaved willow thrive on the banks . The area was barely accessible to the public due to its proximity to the border (530 meters northeast of the Austrian-Czech border near Plöckenstein, and 1.7 km east of the border triangle Germany-Czech Republic-Austria) until the fall of the Iron Curtain . The cross-border hiking trail Plöckensteinerseeweg (Ö-CZ) leads from Holzschlag in the Šumava National Park to the Plöckensteiner See.
