Plešné lake
Its pier is high 30-40 metres. The glacier boiler (kar) is profound into northeastern slope of biggest peak, Plechý. Sharp closing walls of a boiler with denuded rocks and wreckage streams reach nearly to its top. Lake´s wall is high of 260 m.
The excavaiting boiler was caused by slope-glacier, one of eleven pieces, which existed in Bohemian Forest during Quartiary-Formation period. The glacier reached the width of 1 km, so it was the widest in the mountains. After it disappeared, at the edge of boiler (kar) a front moraine formed from big boulders remained, which created a natural pier. The water flows through lake brook to Vltava-river.
