The village of Filipova Huť is an administrative part of Modrava.
Geographyedit
Modrava is located about 44 kilometres (27 mi) south of Klatovy and 78 km (48 mi) south of Plzeň, on the border with Germany. It lies in the Bohemian Forest and within the Šumava National Park. The highest point of the municipality and the entire Plzeň Region is the mountain Velká Mokrůvka at 1,370 m (4,490 ft) above sea level. The Vydra River, which after the confluence with the Křemelná forms the Otava River, originates here.
Historyedit
The first written mention of Modrava is from 1614. From 1757, Modrava developed as a fishing and hunting settlement. Filipova Huť was founded in 1785 as a glass workers settlement and named after Count Philip Kinsky, but the glass factory did not prosper and the village became a lumber settlement. The area of Modrava and Filipova Huť was owned by the Kinsky family until 1799, when they sold it to the Schwarzenberg family.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
Sportedit
In winter, Modrava is known for cross-country skiing. The main cross-country trail in the Bohemian Forest, the so-called Šumava Highway, passes through Modrava.[5] During the summer, the municipality is popular for hiking and cycling.[6]
