Section of the St. James's Path from Frydava to St.Oswald.


The route leads via the Friedberg market square to the ferry across the lake and into Predmosti (Frydava). From the ferry, the road leads slightly uphill to the
main road from Predni Vyton (Heuraffl). Here you can choose between 2 variants: either left via Heuraffl (9.5 km  green markings) or right directly to Svaty Tomas (St. Thoma) (approx. 6 km yellow markings).

Path description green markings Predmosti (Frydava) to Predni Vyton (Heuraffl):
The variant via Heuraffl is the longer but very beautiful and varied. Turn left onto the road. After the village sign, the path leaves the tarmac road and turns
right into the forest. Shortly after entering the forest, the path turns left parallel to the road. At the next two crossroads, follow the right-hand path slightly uphill. After 1.3 kilometres you will reach the Kreuzberg Chapel. From here, the path descends slightly to the left. You leave the forest and follow the edge of the forest to Heuraffl. At the Kyhldiva guesthouse, turn onto the tarmac road and follow it downhill towards the village. At the pond, turn right towards the roundabout.

Path description red markings Predni Vyton (Heuraffl) to Sv.Tomás (St. Thomas):
Take the first road to the right here, past the restaurant the road now goes uphill again. Take the first road to the left and follow it out of the village. Keep left at the next two forks. At the next fork, turn right onto the meadow path and continue across the meadow along the trees and bushes to your right. At the end of the meadow, the path joins a
broader path which you follow slightly uphill into the forest. Cross the wide forest road straight ahead, as well as the next smaller path. At the next fork, take the right-hand path and stay on the forest path. Keep right again at the next two junctions. After about 1 ½ hours, you will reach the junction with the road leading from Predmosti (Frydava) to Pasecná (Reiterschlag). There is a nice rest area at Uhliste and the start of the forest nature trail (the two paths from Frydava meet here - red and yellow markings run parallel from here). Cross the road straight ahead and follow the forest path a little steeper uphill. Keep left at the next two crossroads and continue along the tarmac road to St. Thoma. A detour to the Vitkuv kamen (Wittinghausen) castle ruins with the wonderful view from the tower over the Šumava is worthwhile.

Way description from Sv.Tomás red (4 km)/yellow markings to Koranda: The path
leads around the hotel and then turns left. Here the yellow and red
markings divide again. We follow the red markings to the right. After a few houses, the path
turns left and continues through the forest. After a while, the path turns slightly uphill to the right (signposted Terezianska) and the road joins a forest path. You
pass a house and continue straight ahead on the path, which now leads straight ahead and
later slightly downhill through the forest. The path is partly asphalted and concreted. After
the downhill section, the path continues flat for a while, then you have to turn left at the
large crossroads onto the 1st path - from here on, the yellow markings apply! This
road leads to Koranda (Rosenhügel), from here you must expect cyclists!

Path description blue marking Koranda to border crossing St.Oswald/Furtmühle:
At Koranda, cross the cycle path along the Vltava reservoir straight ahead and after a few
steps you will reach the alluvial canal. Here you will see the sculpture "Wasserscheide" (watershed) and
a rest area invites you to linger. Follow the forest path towards St. Oswald. Attention
cyclists on the path! From here, the path runs through forest and across meadows until it joins an asphalt road at the border
- sculpture "Connect it".
