 Kašperské Hory – In Kašperské Hory there is a town hall on the square. Originally the so-called Panský dům was rebuilt in 1579 into the Renaissance town hall which was rebuilt in the 17th and 18th centuries in the Baroque style. In the middle of the square is the Dean's Church of St. Markéta from the second half of the 14th century. Other important buildings include Baroque sculptures from the 18th century. The ruin of Kašperk – Kašperk Castle is unmistakable thanks to two prismatic towers. The castle was founded by Charles IV. to protect the Golden Path and gold-bearing Kašperské mines. In the 17th century it was plundered and abandoned, but in the 19th century it was partly reconstructed. The castle offers beautiful views of the surroundings and the nearby Šumava panorama. Kašperk is open daily except Mondays from April to October.
 Pustý hrádek - The Deserted Castle, these are the remnants of the fortified castle Kašperk. There is a magical view of Kašperk and the massif of Šumava.
 Královský kámen – It is one of the hills of Javorník highlands which is part of Šumava plains. A large rock altar (niche) is carved into the stone and dated 1899.
 Javorník - A wooded hill on the Kvilda Plains near Stachy village with a lookout tower on the top. The Klostermann lookout tower overlooks the summits of the Třístoličník, Černá hora, Roklan, Poledník, Pancíř, Velký Javor and Ostrý. Below the top is the Javorník recreation center. On the slope of the hill is a picturesque chapel and on the north side a rock sea
 Nicov - The surroundings of the village provide beautiful views of the Šumava foothills, but also the main ridge. You can also see the distant hill of Pancíř. Important buildings include the Church of St. Martin.
